Draftkings MLB DFS Picks: Dodgers vs. Blue Jays 10/31/25

On Friday night, 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.

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

Tomorrow night, Major League Baseball presents the sixth 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 tomorrow evening’s World Series game? The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at the sixth game of this seven-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays playing good baseball. The Dodgers have won ten of the team’s last 14 games played in the 2025 MLB season, including a 5-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays five days ago.

Similar to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Toronto Blue Jays are playing quality baseball entering the sixth game of the 2025 World Series. The Blue Jays have won five of the team’s last seven games played in the 2025 MLB season, including an 11-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers last week.

Captain-Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Pitcher, Los Angeles Dodgers $11,800

Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s turn our attention to tomorrow night’s World Series game. Starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto has been an important 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 5-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays five days ago, Yoshinobu Yamamoto certainly pitched at a high level. In the Dodgers win over the Blue Jays, Yamamoto pitched nine quality innings while scattering four hits and no walks. It should also be noted that Yamamoto struck out eight Blue Jays batters in the game.

In my view, Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this World Series game. With that said, I am backing Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto at the captain position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
