Colorado Rockies vs. San Francisco Giants
September 26, 2025 10:15 pm EDT
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 tonight’s Rockies vs. Giants matchup.
FanDuel MLB DFS Picks
MVP-Heliot Ramos, Outfielder, San Francisco Giants $10,200
On Friday night, Major League Baseball presents the first game of a three-game National League series featuring the Colorado Rockies and the San Francisco Giants.
How are these two teams playing entering today’s game? The San Francisco Giants arrive at the opening game of this three-game series with the Colorado Rockies playing below average baseball. The Giants have lost five of the team’s last seven games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 6-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals four days ago.
Similar to the San Francisco Giants, the Colorado Rockies are playing subpar baseball entering the first game of this National League series. Let me be more specific. The Rockies have lost four of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 3-0 shutout loss to the Los Angeles Angels 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 154 games that outfielder Heliot Ramos has played for the San Francisco Giants in the 2025 MLB regular season, Ramos has compiled a rather impressive .258 batting average, 20 home runs, 51 walks, 66 RBIs (runs batted in), 84 runs scored, a .330 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and a .730 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging).
As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the MVP position for a FanDuel MLB showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups.
In my opinion, Heliot Ramos’s reasonable FanDuel price of only $10,200 presents outstanding fantasy value. 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): Rafael Devers, Third Baseman (San Francisco Giants) $13,600: Hunter Goodman, Catcher (Colorado Rockies) $11,000.
