Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Colorado Rockies
August 14, 2025 8:40 pm EDT
Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with a National League matchup featuring the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Arizona Diamondbacks 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 evening’s Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Colorado Rockies matchup.
FanDuel MLB DFS Picks
MVP-Ketel Marte, Second Baseman, Arizona Diamondbacks $12,400
On Thursday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening 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 Arizona Diamondbacks arrive at the first game of this three-game series with the Colorado Rockies playing good baseball. More specifically, the Diamondbacks have won five of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a convincing 13-6 win over the Colorado Rockies four days ago.
Similar to the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Colorado Rockies are playing quality baseball entering this evening’s National League game. The Colorado Rockies have won two of the team’s last three games played this season, including a 3-0 shutout victory over the St. Louis Cardinals two days ago.
Now that we have identified how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to today’s MLB contest. Talented second baseman Ketel Marte has certainly been an essential part of the Arizona Diamondbacks starting lineup this season. Having stated that, how has the veteran second baseman performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s review Marte’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
In the 88 games that Ketel Marte has played for the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2025 MLB regular season, Marte has compiled a .297 batting average, 24 home runs (21st in MLB), 51 walks, 54 RBIs (runs batted in), 66 runs scored, a .398 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and an .956 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging) which ranks tenth in MLB.
In my view, Ketel Marte is the most likely player to amass the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. With that said, I am backing Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like in this evening’s MLB regular season game (FanDuel price noted): Corbin Carroll, Outfielder (Arizona Diamondbacks) $13,600: Hunter Goodman, Catcher (Colorado Rockies) $11,000: Blaze Alexander, Shortstop, (Arizona Diamondbacks) $6,800: Adrian Del Castillo, Catcher (Arizona Diamondbacks) $5,000.
