Major League Baseball presents Draftkings baseball fans with a National League matchup featuring the Milwaukee Brewers and the New York Mets. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Milwaukee Brewers vs. New York Mets 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’s Brewers vs. Mets matchup.

On Tuesday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening game of a three-game National League series featuring the Milwaukee Brewers and the New York Mets.
How are these two teams playing entering tomorrow’s MLB game? The Milwaukee Brewers arrive at the first game of this three-game series with the New York Mets playing quality baseball. The Brewers have won four of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 10-6 win over the Colorado Rockies three days ago.
Conversely, the New York Mets are playing below average baseball entering this MLB game. More specifically, the Mets have lost three of the team’s last four games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 9-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates earlier this week.
Now that we have identified how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to tomorrow evening’s contest. Freddy Peralta has been a solid performer for the Milwaukee Brewers this season. With that said, how did the veteran pitcher perform from a statistical standpoint? Let’s review Freddy Peralta’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
In 16 starts made this season, Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta has compiled a 8-4 (win-loss record), a 1.13 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched) and a 2.90 ERA (Earned Run Average) which ranks 19th in MLB. Additionally, Freddy Peralta has tallied 98 strikeouts (25th in MLB) while allowing 34 walks in 88 innings pitched this season.
Last week, in the Milwaukee Brewers 9-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, Milwaukee starting pitcher Freddy Peralta certainly pitched at a high level. Let me be more specific. Peralta pitched five quality innings while scattering seven hits and no walks in the Brewers win over the Pirates.
In my opinion, Freddy Peralta is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this MLB regular season game. Having stated that, I am backing Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta 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): Clay Holmes, Starting Pitcher (New York Mets) $11,000: Brandon Nimmo, Outfielder (New York Mets) $7,200.
