FanDuel Best MLB DFS Picks: Blue Jays vs. Guardians 6/24/25
Toronto Blue Jays vs. Cleveland Guardians
June 24, 2025 6:40 pm EDT
Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with an American League matchup featuring the Toronto Blue Jays and the Cleveland Guardians. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Toronto Blue Jays vs. Cleveland Guardians 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 Blue Jays vs. Guardians matchup.
FanDuel MLB DFS Picks
MVP-Vladimir Guerrero Jr., First Baseman, Toronto Blue Jays $12,200
On Tuesday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening game of a three-game American League series featuring the Toronto Blue Jays and the Cleveland Guardians.
How are these two teams playing entering today’s MLB game? The Toronto Blue Jays arrive at the first game of this three-game series with the Cleveland Guardians playing below average baseball. The Blue Jays have lost six of the team’s last nine games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 7-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox four days ago.
Similar to the Toronto Blue Jays, the Cleveland Guardians are playing below average baseball entering today’s American League game. More specifically, the Guardians have lost five of the team’s last nine games played this season, including a 2-1 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 first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been a solid performer for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2025. Having stated that, how has Guerrero Jr. performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s review Guerrero Jr.’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
In the 76 games that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has played for the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 MLB regular season, Guerreo Jr. has compiled a .279 batting average, ten home runs, 45 walks, 39 RBIs (runs batted in), 44 runs scored, a .832 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging) and a .391 OBP (On-Base Percentage) which ranks 24th in MLB.
Earlier this month, in the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerreo Jr. played exceptionally well. In Toronto’s victory over Arizona, Guerrero Jr. tallied three hits (one home run, one double), one run scored and three RBIs. It should also be mentioned that in Toronto’s defeat of the Diamondbacks, Guerreo Jr. tallied 34.7 FanDuel points.
In my view, Vladimir Guerreo Jr. is the most likely player to amass the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. For that specific reason, I am backing Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Vladimir Guerreo Jr. at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): George Springer, Outfielder (Toronto Blue Jays) $9,400: Steven Kwan, Outfielder (Cleveland Guardians) $8,600: Bo Bichette, Shortstop (Toronto Blue Jays) $11,400.
