Major League Baseball presents Draftkings baseball fans with a National League matchup featuring the San Francisco Giants and the Atlanta Braves. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the San Francisco Giants vs. Atlanta Braves game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings MLB single game showdown contest.
Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules
You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.
The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.
If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.
*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.
Here are my Draftkings picks for today’s Braves vs. Giants matchup.
Draftkings MLB Showdown Picks
Captain-Logan Webb, Starting Pitcher, San Francisco Giants $12,200
On Saturday afternoon, Major League Baseball presents the second game of a three-game National League series featuring the Atlanta Braves and the San Francisco Giants.
How are these two teams playing entering this afternoon’s National League game? The Braves arrive at the second game of this three-game series with the San Francisco Giants playing below average baseball. The Atlanta Braves have lost six of the team’s last seven games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an 8-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks four days ago.
In direct contrast to the Atlanta Braves, the San Francisco Giants arrive at today’s MLB game playing good baseball. The Giants have won four of the team’s last six games played this season, including a 6-5 victory over the San Diego Padres earlier this week.
Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to this afternoon’s contest. Starting pitcher Logan Webb has been an essential part of the San Francisco Giants starting pitching rotation this season. With that said, how has Webb performed from a statistical perspective in 2025? Let’s review the veteran hurler’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
Through 13 starts made in 2025, San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb has compiled a 5-5 (win-loss record), a 1.12 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched) and a 2.55 ERA (Earned Run Average) which ranks 13th in MLB. Additionally, Logan Webb has tallied 91 strikeouts while allowing 17 walks in 81.1 innings pitched this season.
Last month, in the San Francisco Giants dominant 9-1 win over the Athletics, San Francisco starting pitcher Logan Webb pitched exceptionally well. More specifically, Webb pitched eight quality innings while scattering five hits and two walks in the Giants win over the Athletics.
In my view, Logan Webb is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in tonight’s MLB regular season game. Having stated that, I am backing San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb at the captain position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like to play well in this MLB regular season contest (Draftkings price noted): Bryce Elder, Starting Pitcher (Atlanta Braves) $10,600: Matt Olson, First Baseman (Atlanta Braves) $9,200: Heliot Ramos, Outfielder (San Francisco Giants) $8,200.
