Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with a National League matchup featuring the San Francisco Giants and the Milwaukee Brewers. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the San Francisco Giants vs. Milwaukee Brewers 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 Giants vs. Brewers matchup.
FanDuel MLB DFS Picks
MVP-Sal Frelick, Outfielder, Milwaukee Brewers
On Friday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening game of a three-game National League series featuring the San Francisco Giants vs. Milwaukee Brewers.
How are these two teams playing entering today’s MLB game? The Milwaukee Brewers arrive at the first game of this three-game series with the San Francisco Giants playing subpar baseball. The Brewers have lost four of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 3-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds last week.
Similar to the Milwaukee Brewers, the San Francisco Giants are currently playing below average baseball entering this evening’s game. Let me be more specific. The Giants have lost ten of the team’s last 12 games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 5-1 loss to the San Diego Padres three days ago.
Now that we have ascertained how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to today’s contest. Outfielder Sal Frelick has certainly been a solid contributor for the Milwaukee Brewers this season. Having stated that, how has the Frelick performed from a statistical standpoint? Let’s examine Frelick’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular to better shed light on the veteran outfielder’s overall contributions to his team.
In the 112 games that Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick has played in the 2025 MLB regular season, Frelick has compiled a .300 batting average, nine home runs, 37 walks, 49 RBIs (runs batted in), 18 stolen bases and 61 runs scored.
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Sal Frelick can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. With that said, I fully expect that trend to continue in this evening’s matchup with the San Francisco Giants.
In my view, Sal Frelick is the most likely player to amass the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. For that specific reason, I am backing Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like to play well in this evening’s MLB regular season game (FanDuel price noted): Christian Yelich, Outfielder (Milwaukee Brewers) $13,600: Brice Turang, Second Baseman (Milwaukee Brewers) $8,400: Heliot Ramos, Outfielder (San Francisco Giants) $7,600.
