October 25, 2025 8:00 pm EDT
Later today, Major League Baseball presents Draftkings baseball fans with a World Series matchup featuring the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Toronto Blue Jays 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 Friday night’s Dodgers vs. Blue Jays matchup.
Draftkings MLB Showdown Picks
On Saturday night, Major League Baseball presents the second game of a seven-game MLB playoff series featuring the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays.
How are these two teams playing entering this evening’s MLB playoff game? The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at the second game of this seven-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays playing good baseball. The Dodgers have won eight of the team’s last ten games played in the 2025 MLB season, including a 5-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers last week.
Similar to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Toronto Blue Jays are playing quality baseball entering the second game of the 2025 World Series. The Blue Jays have won seven of the team’s last 11 games played in the 2025 MLB season, including a 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners four days ago.
Captain-Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Pitcher, Los Angeles Dodgers $11,400
Now that we have identified how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to tonight’s World Series game. Starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto has certainly been an essential part of the Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitching rotation this season. With that said, how has Yamamoto performed from a statistical perspective in 2025? Let’s review the veteran pitcher’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to better shed light on his overall contributions to his team.
Through 30 starts made in the 2025 MLB regular season, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto compiled a 12-8 (win-loss record) and a 2.49 ERA (Earned Run Average) which ranks fourth in MLB. Additionally, Yamamoto has tallied a 0.99 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Innings Pitched), 201 strikeouts (11th in MLB) while allowing 59 walks in 173.2 innings pitched this season.
More recently, in the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds last month, Los Angeles pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched exceptionally well. In the Dodgers defeat of the Cincinnati Reds just noted, Yamamoto pitched 6.2 quality innings while scattering four hits and two walks. Additionally, Yamamoto struck out nine Cincinnati Reds batters in the game.
In my view, Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this MLB playoff game. For that specific reason, I am backing Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto at the captain position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like to play well in this MLB playoff game (Draftkings price noted): Kevin Gausman, Starting Pitcher (Toronto Blue Jays) $11,000: Freddie Freeman, First Baseman (Los Angeles Dodgers) $9,000: George Springer, Outfielder (Toronto Blue Jays) $9,400: Ernie Clement, Second Baseman (Toronto Blue Jays) $5,600.
