FanDuel MLB DFS Picks: Diamondbacks vs. Rockies 8/15/25

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 tonight’s Diamondbacks vs. Rockies matchup.

FanDuel MLB DFS Picks

MVP-Hunter Goodman, Catcher, Colorado Rockies $11,000

On Friday night, Major League Baseball presents the second 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 second game of this three-game series with the Colorado Rockies playing good baseball. More specifically, the Diamondbacks have won six of the team’s last seven games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a convincing 13-6 win over the Colorado Rockies five days ago.

In direct contrast to the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Colorado Rockies are playing below average baseball entering this evening’s National League game. The Rockies have lost nine of the team’s last 11 games played this season, including a 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals earlier this week.

Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our attention to tonight’s contest. Catcher Hunter Goodman has certainly been an important part of the Colorado Rockies starting lineup this season. Having stated that, how has the veteran catcher performed from a statistical standpoint? Let’s examine Goodman’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

In the 106 games that Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman has played in the 2025 MLB regular season, Goodman has compiled a .277`batting average, 24 home runs, 26 walks, 68 RBIs (runs batted in), and 57 runs scored.

What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. With that said, I fully expect that trend to continue in tonight’s matchup with Arizona Diamondbacks.

In my view, Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman is the most likely player to compile the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. For that specific reason, I am backing Hunter Goodman 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: Blaze Alexander, Shortstop, (Arizona Diamondbacks) $4,400: Ketel Marte, Second Baseman (Arizona Diamondbacks) $12,800.
