Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with an interleague matchup featuring the Philadelphia Phillies and the Texas Rangers. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Philadelphia Phillies vs. Texas Rangers 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 Philadelphia Phillies vs. Texas Rangers matchup.
FanDuel MLB DFS Picks
MVP-Corey Seager, Shortstop, Texas Rangers $10,200
On Sunday afternoon, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a three-game interleague series featuring the Philadelphia Phillies and the Texas Rangers.
How are these two teams playing entering today’s MLB game? The Texas Rangers arrive at the third game of this three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies playing below average baseball. More specifically, the Rangers have lost four of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 4-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners last week.
In direct contrast to the Texas Rangers, the Philadelphia Phillies are currently playing rather good baseball entering this afternoon’s game. The Rangers have won five of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 5-0 shutout win over the Baltimore Orioles.
Now that we have identified how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our attention to today’s contest. Shortstop Corey Seager has certainly been an essential part of the Texas Rangers starting lineup this season. With that said, how has the veteran shortstop performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s examine Seager’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
In 85 games played this season, Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager has compiled a .266 batting average, 17 home runs, 41 RBIs (runs batted in) and 49 runs scored and a .377 OBP (On Base Percentage).
Last night, in Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers, Texas shortstop Corey Seager played exceptionally well. In the Phillies win over the Rangers, Seager compiled two hits (one home run), one RBI and two runs scored. It should also be mentioned that in the Phillies defeat of Texas, Seager tallied a robust 24.9 FanDuel points.
In my view, Corey Seager is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in tonight’s MLB game. With that said, I am rolling with Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): Kyle Schwarber, Outfielder (Philadelphia Phillies) $14,400: Trea Turner, Shortstop (Philadelphia Phillies) $12,600: Harrison Bader, Outfielder (Philadelphia Phillies) $6,000.
