April 24, 2025 3:45 pm EDT
Major League Baseball presents Draftkings baseball fans with a National League matchup featuring the Milwaukee Brewers and the San Francisco Giants. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Milwaukee Brewers vs. San Francisco Giants 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 tomorrow afternoon’s Milwaukee vs. San Francisco matchup.
Draftkings MLB Showdown Picks
Captain-Landen Roupp, Starting Pitcher, San Francisco Giants $11,200
Tomorrow afternoon, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a four-game National League series featuring the Milwaukee Brewers and the San Francisco Giants.
How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The San Francisco Giants arrive at the fourth game of this four-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers playing below average baseball. More specifically, the San Francisco Giants have lost three of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 2-0 shutout loss to the Los Angeles Angels six days ago.
Conversely, the Milwaukee Brewers are currently playing rather well entering this evening’s game. The Brewers have won five of the team’s last eight games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 7-0 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks last week.
Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our attention to tonight’s contest. Starting pitcher Landen Roupp has been a standout performer for the San Francisco Giants pitching staff this season. With that said, how has Roupp performed from a statistical perspective in 2025? Let’s review the talented pitcher’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
Through four starts made this season, San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp has compiled a rather impressive 2-1 (win-loss record), a 4.09 ERA (Earned Run Average) and a 1.36 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched). It should also be noted that Landen Roupp has tallied 29 strikeouts while allowing eight walks in 19.4 innings pitched this season.
More recently, in the San Francisco Giants 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels four days ago, San Francisco starting pitcher Landen Roupp pitched certainly pitched at a high level. Let me be more specific. Roupp pitched seven quality innings while scattering five hits and allowing only one walk in the San Francisco Giants defeat of the Angeles.
In my view, Landen Roupp is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in tomorrow afternoon’s MLB regular season game. Having stated that, I am backing San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp 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): Tobias Myers, Starting Pitcher (Milwaukee Brewers) $10,600: Tyler Fitzgerald, Shortstop (San Francisco Giants) $6,000: Rhys Hopkins, First Baseman (Milwaukee Brewers) $6,400.
