September 23, 2025 8:05 pm EDT
Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with an American League matchup featuring the Minnesota Twins and the Texas Rangers. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Minnesota Twins 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 DFS picks for this evening’s Twins vs. Rangers matchup.
FanDuel MLB DFS Picks
MVP-Wyatt Langford, Outfielder, Texas Rangers $11,800
On Tuesday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening game of a three-game American League series featuring the Minnesota Twins and the Texas Rangers.
How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The Texas Rangers arrive at the first game of this three-game series with the Minnesota Twins playing below average baseball. Let me be more specific. The Rangers have lost seven of the team’s last eight games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 4-2 loss to the Miami Marlins two days ago.
Similar to the Texas Rangers, the Minnesota Twins are playing subpar baseball entering this evening’s game. The Twins have lost five of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 10-5 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 this tonight’s contest. Outfielder Wyatt Langford has been a solid contributor for the Texas Rangers this season. Having stated that, how has the veteran outfielder performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s examine Langford’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
In the 133 games that Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford has played in the 2025 MLB regular season, Langford has compiled a .242 batting average, 22 home runs, 22 stolen bases (30th in MLB), 74 walks (21st in MLB), 61 RBIs (runs batted in), 73 runs scored, a .345 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and a .778 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging).
Earlier this month, in the Texas Rangers 3-2 victory over the New York Mets, Texas outfielder Wyatt Langford amassed two hits (one double), one run scored, one RBI and one stolen base,
In my opinion, Wyatt Langford is the most likely player to amass the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. Having stated that, I am backing Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Lanford at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like in this MLB regular season game (FanDuel price noted): Byron Buxton, Outfielder (Minnesota Twins) $14,400: Austin Martin, Outfielder (Minnesota Twins) $5,800: Josh Jung, Third Baseman (Texas Rangers) $8,200.
