Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with a National League matchup featuring the San Francisco Giants and the Colorado Rockies. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the San Francisco Giants 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 Giants vs. Rockies matchup.
FanDuel MLB DFS Picks
MVP-Heliot Ramos, Outfielder, San Francisco Giants $9,600
On Tuesday night, Major League Baseball presents the second game of a three-game National League series featuring the San Francisco Giants and the Colorado Rockies.
How are these two teams playing entering today’s game? The San Francisco Giants arrive at the second game of this three-game series with the Colorado Rockies playing good baseball. The Giants have won eight of the team’s last nine games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a dominant 13-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles three days ago.
Conversely, the Colorado Rockies are playing below average baseball entering the second game of this National League series. Let me be more specific. The Rockies have lost five of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 4-0 shutout loss to the Houston Astros last week.
Now that we have determined how both of these Major League Baseball teams are currently playing let’s turn our attention to this this evening’s contest. Outfielder Heliot Ramos has been a solid performer for the San Francisco Giants this season. Let’s examine the veteran outfielder’s recent game data to better shed light on my previous statement.
In the 134 games that outfielder Heliot Ramos has played for the San Francisco Giants in the 2025 MLB regular season, Ramos has compiled a rather impressive .267 batting average, 16 home runs, 45 walks, 58 RBIs (runs batted in), 70 runs scored, a .340 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and a .747 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging).
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Heliot Ramos can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. I fully expect that trend to continue in tonight’s matchup with the Colorado Rockies.
In my opinion, Heliot Ramos’s reasonable FanDuel price of only $9,600 presents the best fantasy value on this slate. For that specific reason, I am backing San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): Willy Adames, Shortstop (San Francisco Giants) $10,600: Rafael Devers, Third Baseman (San Francisco Giants) $12,400: Hunter Goodman, Catcher (Colorado Rockies) $11,000.
