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 Friday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening 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 MLB playoff game? The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at the first game of this seven-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays playing good baseball. The Dodgers have won eight of the team’s last nine 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 first game of the 2025 World Series. The Blue Jays have won six of the team’s last ten games played in the 2025 MLB season, including a 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners three days ago.
Captain-Blake Snell, Starting Pitcher, Los Angeles Dodgers $11,800
Now that we have identified how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to Game 1 of the 2025 World Series. Starting pitcher Blake Snell has certainly been a solid performer for the Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitching rotation this season. Having stated that, how has Snell performed from a statistical perspective in 2025? Let’s review Snell’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to better shed light on the talented pitcher’s overall contributions to his team.
In 11 starts made in 2025 MLB regular season, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell compiled a rather impressive 5-4 (win-loss record), a 2.35 ERA (Earned Run Average) and a 1.26 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched). It should also be mentioned that Snell amassed 72 strikeouts in 61.1 innings pitched this season.
More recently, in the Los Angeles Dodgers thrilling 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies two weeks ago, Los Angeles starting pitcher Blake Snell certainly pitched well. In the Dodgers defeat of the Philadelphia Phillies just mentioned, Dodgers hurler Blake Snell pitched six quality innings while scattering one hit and four walks. Additionally, Snell struck out nine Phillies batters in the game.
In my opinion, Blake Snell is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this MLB playoff game. With that said, I am backing Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell at the captain position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
