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 this evening’s Rockies vs. Dodgers matchup.

On Tuesday night, Major League Baseball presents the second 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 second game of this three-game series with the Colorado Rockies playing below average baseball. Let me be more specific. The Los Angeles Dodgers have lost five of the team’s last seven games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 3-0 shutout loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates six days ago.
Similar to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Colorado Rockies are playing subpar baseball entering the second game of this National League series. The Rockies have lost six of the team’s last seven games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an 8-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants last week.
Now that we have identified how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to this evening’s contest. Talented outfielder Shohei Ohtani has certainly been an essential part of the Los Angeles Dodgers starting lineup in 2025. With that said, how has Ohtani performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s examine Ohtani’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
In the 141 games that Shohei Ohtani has played for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2025 MLB regular season, Ohtani has compiled a .279 batting average, 48 home runs (third in MLB), 90 RBIs (runs batted in), 128 runs scored (first in MLB), a .390 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and a .1.002 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging) which ranks second in MLB.
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Shohei Ohtani can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. With that said, I fully expect that trend to continue in tonight’s matchup with the Colorado Rockies.
In my view, Shohei Ohtani is the most likely player to accumulate the most Draftkings points in this MLB game. For that specific reason, I am backing Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Shohei Ohtani 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): Emmet Sheehan, Starting Pitcher (Los Angeles Dodgers) $12,000: Mookie Betts, Outfielder (Los Angeles Dodgers) $8,600: Hunter Goodman, Outfielder (Colorado Rockies) $8,800.
