Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
April 15, 2025 10:10 pm EDT
On Tuesday night, Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with a National League matchup featuring the Colorado Rockies and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers 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 Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers matchup.
FanDuel MLB Player Selections
MVP-Will Smith, Catcher, Los Angeles Dodgers $9,400
On Tuesday night, Major League Baseball presents the second game of a three-game National League series featuring the Colorado Rockies and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at the second game of this three-game series with the Colorado Rockies playing below average baseball. The Dodgers have lost five of the team’s last eight games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an embarrassing 16-0 shutout loss to the Chicago Cubs three days ago.
Similar to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Colorado Rockies are not playing well entering this evening’s game. The Rockies have lost five of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 2-0 loss to the San Diego Padres last week.
Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our attention to this evening’s contest. Catcher Will Smith has been a standout performer for the Los Angeles Dodgers this season. With that said, how has the veteran catcher performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s examine Smith’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith arrives at tonight’s game with a .360 batting average, 16 hits, one home run, nine RBIs (runs batted in) and five runs scored in nine games played this season.
Last night, in Los Angeles Dodgers 5-3 win over the Colorado Rockies, Dodgers catcher Will Smith played rather well. In the Dodgers victory over the Rockies, Smith compiled two hits and two RBIs. It should also be mentioned that in the Dodgers defeat of the Rockies, Riley tallied a robust 13 FanDuel points.
In my view, Will Smith is the most likely player to post the most FanDuel points in tonight’s MLB game. With that said, I am rolling with Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): Shohei Ohtani, First Baseman (Los Angeles Dodgers) $14,800: Kyle Farmer, Second Baseman (Colorado Rockies) $5,200: Freddie Freeman, (Los Angeles Dodgers) $11,200.
