Miami Marlins vs. Seattle Mariners
April 26, 2025 9:40 pm EDT
Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with an interleague matchup featuring the Miami Marlins and the Seattle Mariners. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Miami Marlins vs. Seattle Mariners 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 Miami Marlins vs. Seattle Mariners matchup.
FanDuel MLB Player Selections
MVP-Dylan Moore, Second Baseman, Seattle Mariners $8,800
On Saturday night, Major League Baseball presents the second game of a three-game interleague series featuring the Miami Marlins and the Seattle Mariners.
How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The Seattle Mariners arrive at the second game of this three-game series with the Miami Marlins playing good baseball. The Mariners have won four of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an 8-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays last week.
Similar to the Seattle Mariners, the Miami Marlins are playing well entering the second game of this interleague series. Let me be more specific. The Marlins have won four of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 7-5 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies six days ago.
Now that we have ascertained how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to this evening’s contest. Talented second baseman Dylan Moore has been an essential part of the Seattle Mariners starting lineup this season. With that said, how has Moore performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s examine Moore’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
In 22 games that Dylan Moore has played for the Seattle Mariners in the 2025 MLB regular season, Moore has compiled a .306 batting average, 20 hits, four home runs, seven walks, six RBIs (runs batted in), five stolen bases, 16 runs scored, a .338 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and a 1.014 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging).
Earlier this month, in the Seattle Mariners 8-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, Dylan Moore certainly played at a high level. In the Mariners victory over the Blue Jays, Moore tallied two hits, one run scored, one home run and one walk. It should also be mentioned that in the Mariners defeat of Toronto, Moore compiled a massive 21.7 FanDuel points.
In my view, Dylan Moore is the most likely player to accumulate the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. For that specific reason, I am backing Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): Julio Rodriguez, Outfielder (Seattle Mariners) $11,200: Kyle Stowers, Outfielder (Miami Marlins) $9,200: Connor Norby, Second Baseman (Miami Marlins) $8,400.
