Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with an interleague matchup featuring the Toronto Blue Jays and the Colorado Rockies. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Toronto Blue Jays 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 today’s Blue Jays vs. Rockies matchup.
FanDuel MLB DFS Picks
MVP-Vladimir Guerrero Jr., First Baseman, Toronto Blue Jays $12,800
On Monday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening game of a three-game interleague series featuring the Toronto Blue Jays and the Colorado Rockies.
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 Colorado Rockies playing below average baseball. The Blue Jays have lost six of the team’s last eight games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 9-3 loss to the Kansas City Royals three days ago.
Similar to the Toronto Blue Jays, the Colorado Rockies are playing subpar baseball entering this evening’s interleague contest. The Rockies have lost three of the team’s last five games played this season, including a 5-0 shutout loss to the Cleveland Guardians last week.
Now that we have ascertained how both of these teams are currently playing let’s turn our attention to tonight’s contest. Talented first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has certainly been a standout contributor 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 111 games that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has played for the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 MLB regular season, Guerreo Jr. has compiled a .289 batting average, 15 home runs, 63 walks, 56 RBIs (runs batted in), 71 runs scored, a .858 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging) and a .395 OBP (On-Base Percentage) which ranks tenth in MLB.
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 MLB regular season game (FanDuel price noted): Bo Bichette, Shortstop (Toronto Blue Jays) $10,600: Hunter Goodman, Catcher (Colorado Rockies) $12,600: Nathan Lukes, Outfielder (Toronto Blue Jays) $10,200: Ezequiel Tovar, Shortstop (Colorado Rockies) $7,000.
