September 3, 2025 7:40 pm EDT
Major League Baseball presents Draftkings baseball fans with a National League matchup featuring the Philadelphia Phillies and the Milwaukee Brewers. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Philadelphia Phillies vs. Milwaukee Brewers 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 tonight’s Philadelphia Phillies vs. Milwaukee Brewers matchup.

Captain-Aaron Nola, Starting Pitcher, Philadelphia Phillies $11,600
On Wednesday night, Major League Baseball presents the second game of a three-game National League series featuring the Philadelphia Phillies and the Milwaukee Brewers.
How are these two teams playing entering today’s MLB game? The Philadelphia Phillies arrive at the second game of this three-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers playing good baseball. The Phillies have won four of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a convincing 19-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves five days ago.
In direct contrast to the Philadelphia Phillies, the Milwaukee Brewers arrive at the second game of this National League series playing below average baseball. More specifically, the Brewers have lost four of the team’s last six games played this season, including an 8-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays four days ago.
Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s turn our attention to tonight’s contest. Starting pitcher Aaron Nola has been a solid performer for the Philadelphia Phillies this season. Having stated that, how has the talented hurler performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s review Nola’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
In 12 starts made this season, Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola has compiled a 3-7 (won-loss record), a 6.47 ERA (Earned Run Average) and a 1.50 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched). It should also be mentioned that Nola has amassed 66 strikeouts while allowing 21 walks in 64 innings pitched this season.
More recently, in the Philadelphia Phillies 6-4 win over the Washington Nationals last month, Philadelphia starting pitcher Aaron Nola pitched six quality innings while scattering five hits and one walk.
In my view, Aaron Nola is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in today’s MLB regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola at the captain position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like to play well in this evening’s MLB regular season contest (Draftkings price noted): Jose Quintana, Starting Pitcher (Milwaukee Brewers) 11,000: Bryce Harper, First Baseman (Philadelphia Phillies) $9,000: Brice Turang, Second Baseman (Milwaukee Brewers) $8,000.
