August 21, 2025 3:10 pm EDT
Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with a National League matchup featuring the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Colorado Rockies. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Los Angeles Dodgers 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 Dodgers vs. Rockies matchup.
FanDuel MLB DFS Picks
MVP-Freddie Freeman, First Baseman, Los Angeles Dodgers $12,000
On Thursday afternoon, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a three-game National League series featuring the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Colorado Rockies.
How are these two teams playing entering this afternoon’s MLB game? The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at the third game of this three-game series with the Colorado Rockies playing quality baseball. The Dodgers have won four of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an impressive 6-0 shutout win over the San Diego Padres last week.
Similar to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Colorado Rockies are playing good baseball entering today’s contest. More specifically, the Rockies have won five of the team’s last six games played this season, including a 6-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks four days ago.
Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to this afternoon’s contest. Veteran first baseman Freddie Freeman has certainly been an important part of the Los Angeles Dodgers starting lineup in 2025. With that said, how has Freeman performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s examine Freeman’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
In the 114 games that first baseman Freddie Freeman has played for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2025 MLB regular season, Freeman has compiled a robust .302 batting average, 15 home runs, 48 walks, 70 RBIs (runs batted in), 62 runs scored, a .375 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and a .862 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging). What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Freeman is playing at a high-level entering today’s contest.
In my view, Freddie Freeman is the most likely player to amass the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. Having stated that, I am rolling with Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like to play well in this MLB regular season game (FanDuel price noted): Ezequiel Tovar, Shortstop (Colorado Rockies) $9,400: Andy Pages, Outfielder (Los Angeles Dodgers) $8,200.
