Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with an interleague matchup featuring the Los Angeles Angels and the Milwaukee Brewers. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Los Angeles Angels vs. Milwaukee Brewers game let’s review the rules for the FanDuel single game showdown contest.
FanDuel Single Game Contest Rules
Here are the FanDuel single game contest rules. You have $60,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team MVP. The MVP accumulates 1.5x times the standard FanDuel fantasy points value. Additionally, the MVP is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.
The remaining five players in your lineup will be flex plays. The five flex positions will receive the standard FanDuel points value. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your MVP position if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) FanDuel single game contest.
If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game contest, I highly recommend that you check out the FanDuel website for more details.
*It should be noted that FanDuel does not utilize the pitcher position in single game MLB contests. Having stated that, only batters are available for single game MLB lineups on the FanDuel platform.
Here are my FanDuel picks for this evening’s Angels vs. Brewers matchup.
FanDuel MLB DFS Picks
MVP-Sal Frelick, Outfielder, Milwaukee Brewers $9,000
On Thursday night, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a three-game interleague series featuring the Los Angeles Angels and the Milwaukee Brewers.
How are these two teams playing entering today’s MLB game? The Milwaukee Brewers arrive at the final game of this three-game series with the Los Angeles Angels playing good baseball. The Brewers have won four of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an 8-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals last week.
In direct contrast to the Milwaukee Brewers, the Los Angeles Angels arrive at the third game of this interleague series playing below average baseball. Let me be more specific. The Angels have lost six of the team’s last seven games played this season, including an 11-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners four days ago.
Now that we have identified how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to today’s contest. Outfielder Sal Frelick has certainly been a solid contributor for the Milwaukee Brewers this season. Having stated that, how has the Frelick performed from a data perspective? Let’s examine Frelick’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular to better shed light on the veteran outfielder’s overall contributions to his team.
In the 134 games that Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick has played in the 2025 MLB regular season, Frelick has compiled a .296 batting average, 11 home runs, 47 walks, 61 RBIs (runs batted in), 19 stolen bases, 74 runs scored and a .362 OBP (On-Base Percentage).
Earlier this month, in the Milwaukee Brewers 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick played rather well. Frelick amassed one hit, two walks, one run scored and one stolen base in the Milwaukee Brewers defeat of the Pirates.
In my view, Sal Frelick’s reasonable FanDuel price of only $9,000 presents the best fantasy value on this slate. For that specific reason, I am backing Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like to play well in this evening’s MLB regular season game (FanDuel price noted): Mike Trout, Outfielder (Los Angeles Angels) $10,400: Christian Moore, Second Baseman (Los Angeles Angels) $5,200.
