Major League Baseball presents Draftkings baseball fans with a National League matchup featuring the Colorado Rockies and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Colorado Rockies 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 tonight’s Rockies vs. Dodgers matchup.
Draftkings MLB DFS Picks
Captain-Blake Snell, Starting Pitcher, Los Angeles Dodgers $12,600
On Wednesday night, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a three-game National League series featuring the Colorado Rockies and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at the third game of this three-game series with the Colorado Rockies playing good baseball. Let me be more specific. The Los Angeles Dodgers have won three of the team’s last four games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 5-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles three days ago.
In direct contrast to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Colorado Rockies are playing below average baseball entering the final game of this National League series. The Rockies have lost seven of the team’s last eight games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 3-0 shutout loss to the San Diego Padres last week.
Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to tonight’s contest. Starting pitcher Blake Snell has certainly been a standout performer for the Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitching rotation this season. Having stated that, how has the talented pitcher performed from a statistical perspective in 2025? Let’s review Snell’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
Through eight starts made in 2025, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell has compiled a 3-4 (win-loss record), a 3.19 ERA (Earned Run Average) and a 1.49 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched). Additionally, Snell has amassed 44 strikeouts in 42.1 innings pitched this season.
More recently, in the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-0 shutout win over the San Diego Padres last month, Los Angeles starting pitcher Blake Snell pitched exceptionally well. Snell pitched six quality innings while scattering five hits and two walks in the Los Angeles Dodgers defeat of the Padres.
In my view, Blake Snell is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this MLB game. For that specific reason, I am backing Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell 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): Kyle Freeland, Starting Pitcher (Colorado Rockies) $9,600: Shohei Ohtani, Outfielder (Los Angeles Dodgers) $10,600: Hunter Goodman, Catcher (Colorado Rockies) $8,200.
