Major League Baseball presents Draftkings baseball fans with a National League matchup featuring the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers 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 this evening’s Giants vs. Dodgers matchup.
Draftkings MLB Showdown Picks
Captain-Landen Roupp, Starting Pitcher, San Francisco Giants $11,200
On Saturday night, Major League Baseball presents the second game of a three-game National League series featuring the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
How are these two teams playing entering today’s MLB game? The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at the second game of this three-game series playing good baseball. The Dodgers have won three of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a convincing 10-1 win over the San Diego Padres earlier this week.
Similar to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the San Francisco Giants are playing well entering this evening’s contest. The Giants have won eight of the team’s last nine games played this season, including a 10-7 victory over the Colorado Rockies three days ago.
Now that we have identified how both of these teams are currently playing let’s turn our attention to today’s contest. Starting pitcher Landen Roupp has certainly been an important part of the San Francisco Giants starting pitching rotation this season. Having stated that, how has Roupp performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s review Roupp’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
In 13 starts made in 2025, San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp has compiled a 4-4 (win-loss record) and a 3.29 ERA (Earned Run Average). It should also be mentioned that Roupp has tallied a 1.36 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Innings Pitched), 45 strikeouts while allowing 24 walks in 68.1 innings pitched this season.
Earlier this month, in the San Diego Padres 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants, San Francisco starting pitcher Landen Roupp certainly pitched at a high level. Roupp pitched 6.1 quality innings while scattering four hits and two walks in the Padres win over the Giants.
In my opinion, Landen Roupp is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this MLB regular season game. With that said, I am rolling with 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): Clayton Kershaw, Starting Pitcher (Los Angeles Dodgers) $10,600: Helliot Ramos, Outfielder (San Francisco Giants) $7,600: Teoscar Hernandez, Outfielder (Los Angeles Dodgers) $8,200.
