June 2, 2025 6:40 pm EDT
Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with a National League matchup featuring the Colorado Rockies and the Miami Marlins. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Colorado Rockies vs. Miami Marlins 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 tomorrow night’s Rockies vs. Marlins matchup.
FanDuel MLB DFS Picks
MVP-Xavier Edwards, Shortstop, Miami Marlins $7,400
On Monday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening game of a three-game National League series featuring the Colorado Rockies and the Miami Marlins.
How are these two teams playing entering tomorrow’s MLB game? The Miami Marlins arrive at the first game of this three-game series with the Colorado Rockies playing below average baseball. The Marlins have lost four of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an 8-6 loss to the San Diego Padres five days ago.
Similar to the Miami Marlins, the Colorado Rockies are not playing well entering the opening game of this National League series. Let me be more specific. The Rockies have lost eight of the team’s last nine games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an embarrassing 13-1 loss to the New York Yankees last week.
Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to tomorrow night’s game. Shortstop Xavier Edwards has certainly been a solid contributor for the Miami Marlins in 2025. With that said, how has the talented shortstop performed from a statistical perspective this season? Let’s review’s Edwards relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
In the 42 games that shortstop Xavier Edwards has played for the Miami Marlins in the 2025 MLB regular season, Edwards has compiled a .263 batting average, 50 hits, 21 walks, 11 stolen bases, 12 RBIs (runs batted in), 19 runs scored, a .342 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and a .318 SLG (Slugging Percentage).
Earlier today, in the San Francisco Giants 4-2 win over the Miami Marlins, Xavier Edwards certainly played at a high level. In the Giants victory over the Marlins, Edwards tallied five hits, one run scored and one double. It should also be mentioned that in the Giants defeat of the Marlins, Edwards amassed a massive 24.7 FanDuel points.
In my view, Xavier Edwards reasonable FanDuel price of only $7,400 presents best fantasy value on this slate. For that specific reason, I am rolling with Miani Marlins shortstop Xavier Edwards at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): Jesus Sanchez, Outfielder (Miami Marlins) $12,000: Sam Hilliard, Outfielder (Colorado Rockies) $5,200: Eric Wagaman, First Baseman (Miami Marlins) $7,800.
