September 21, 2025 3:10 pm EDT
Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with an interleague matchup featuring the Los Angeles Angels and the Colorado Rockies. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Los Angeles Angels vs. Colorado Rockies 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 afternoon’s Angels vs. Rockies matchup.
FanDuel MLB DFS Picks
MVP-Hunter Goodman, Catcher, Colorado Rockies $11,600
On Sunday afternoon, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a three-game National League series featuring the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies.
How are these two teams playing entering today’s MLB game? The Colorado Rockies arrive at the third game of this three-game series with the Colorado Rockies playing below average baseball. More specifically, the Rockies have lost six of the team’s last seven games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an 11-3 loss to the San Diego Padres last week.
Similar to the Colorado Rockies, the Los Angeles Angels are playing below subpar baseball entering this evening’s interleague game. The Angels have lost eight of the team’s last nine games played this season, including a 5-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers three days ago.
Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our attention to this afternoon’s contest. Catcher Hunter Goodman has certainly been an important part of the Colorado Rockies starting lineup this season. Having stated that, how has the veteran catcher performed from a statistical standpoint? Let’s examine Goodman’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
In the 137 games that Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman has played in the 2025 MLB regular season, Goodman has compiled a .281`batting average, 30 home runs, 32 walks, 88 RBIs (runs batted in), 57 runs scored, a .327 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and an .855 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging).
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. With that said, I fully expect that trend to continue in today’s matchup with Los Angeles Angels.
In my view, Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman is the most likely player to compile the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. For that specific reason, I am backing Hunter Goodman at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like in this afternoon’s MLB regular season game (FanDuel price noted): Mike Trout, Outfielder (Los Angeles Angels) $12,800: Jo Adell, Outfielder (Los Angeles Angels) 10,200.
