FanDuel MLB DFS Picks: Diamondbacks vs. Rangers 8/13/25

Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with an interleague matchup featuring the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Texas Rangers. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Texas Rangers 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 Diamondbacks vs. Rangers matchup.

FanDuel MLB DFS Picks

MVP-Corbin Carroll, Outfielder, Arizona Diamondbacks $13,800

On Wednesday afternoon, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a three-game interleague series featuring the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Texas Rangers.

How are these two teams playing entering today’s MLB game? The Arizona Diamondbacks arrive at the final game of this three-game series with the Texas Rangers playing quality baseball. The Diamondbacks have won four of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 13-6 win over the Colorado Rockies three days ago.

In direct contrast to the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Texas Rangers are playing below average baseball entering this afternoon’s interleague game. More specifically, the Rangers have lost five of the team’s last six games played this season, including a 3-2 loss to the New York Yankees last week.

Now that we have identified how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to tody’s MLB contest. Talented outfielder Corbin Carroll has been a solid contributor for the Arizona Diamondbacks this season. Having stated that, how has Carroll performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s review Carroll’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

In the 103 games that Corbin Carroll has played for the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2025 MLB regular season, Carroll has compiled a .248 batting average, 13 home runs (26th in MLB), 14 triples (first in MLB), 39 walks, 62 RBIs (runs batted in), 78 runs scored, a .321 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and an .875 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging) which ranks 11th in MLB. What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Corbin Carroll can post a high number of DFS points on any given night.

In my opinion, Corbin Carroll is the most likely player to amass the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. With that said, I am backing Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Flex plays I like in this MLB regular season game (FanDuel price noted): Corey Seager, Shortstop (Texas Rangers) $10,800: Ketel Marte, Second Baseman (Arizona Diamondbacks) $12,600.
