FanDuel Best MLB DFS Picks: Atlanta vs. Toronto 4/15/25

Later today, Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with an interleague matchup featuring the Atlanta Braves and the Toronto Blue Jays. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Atlanta Braves vs. Toronto Blue Jays 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 Atlanta Braves vs. Toronto Blue Jays matchup.

FanDuel MLB Player Selections

MVP-Austin Riley, Third Baseman, Atlanta Braves $12,800

On Tuesday night, Major League Baseball presents the second game of a three-game interleague series featuring the Atlanta Braves and the Toronto Blue Jays.

How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The Toronto Blue Jays arrive at the second game of this three-game series with the Atlanta Braves playing below average baseball. The Blue Jays have lost four of the team’s last seven games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 5-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles five days ago.

Similar to the Toronto Blue Jays, the Atlanta Braves are not playing well entering this evening’s game. The Braves have lost six of the team’s last ten games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays last week.

Now that we have ascertained how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our attention to this evening’s contest. Third Baseman Austin Riley has been a standout performer for the Atlanta Braves this season. Having stated that, how has the veteran third baseman performed from a statistical standpoint? Let’s review Riley’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley arrives at tonight’s game with a .290 batting average, 19 hits, four home runs, 11 RBIs (runs batted in) and nine runs scored over 16 games played this season.

Last night, in Atlanta Braves 8-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, Atlanta third baseman Austin Riley played exceptionally well. In the Braves win over the Blue Jays, Riley compiled two hits, two runs scored, five RBIs and two home runs. It should also be mentioned that in the Braves defeat of the Blue Jays, Riley tallied a massive 47.9 FanDuel points.

In my view, Austin Riley is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in tonight’s MLB game. With that said, I am rolling with Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): Vladimir Guerrero Jr., First Baseman $12,000: Anthony Santander, Outfielder (Toronto Blue Jays) $8,800: Sean Murphy, Catcher (Atlanta Braves) $9,400.
