Chicago White Sox vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
July 1, 2025 10:10 pm EDT
Later today, Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with an interleague matchup featuring the Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Chicago White Sox 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 tomorrow night’s White Sox vs. Dodgers matchup.
FanDuel MLB DFS Picks
MVP-Shohei Ohtani, Outfielder, Los Angeles Dodgers $16,000
On Tuesday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening game of a three-game interleague series featuring the Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at the first game of this three-game series with the Chicago White Sox playing good baseball. The Dodgers have won six of the team’s last seven games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an 8-1 win over the Colorado Rockies five days ago.
Similar to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Chicago White Sox are playing well entering the opening game of this interleague series. Let me be more specific. The White Sox have won three of the team’s last four games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 7-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks last week.
Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to tomorrow’s contest. Veteran outfielder Shohei Ohtani has certainly been an essential part of the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup in 2025. With that said, how has Ohtani performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s examine Ohtani’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
In the 81 games that Shohei Ohtani has played for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2025 MLB regular season, Ohtani has compiled a rather impressive .287 batting average (23rd in MLB), 29 home runs (first in National League), 42 walks, 54 RBIs (runs batted in), 80 runs scored (first in MLB), a .388 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and a 1.045 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging) which ranks third in MLB.
More recently, in the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates last month, Shohei Ohtani played rather well. In the Dodgers win over the Pirates, Ohtani amassed three hits, two runs scored, two doubles, one triple and one RBI. It should also be mentioned that in the Dodgers defeat of the Pirates, Ohtani compiled a massive 36.9 FanDuel points.
In my opinion, Shohei Ohtani is the most likely player to accumulate the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. For that specific reason, I am backing Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Shohei Ohtani at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): Max Muncy, Third Baseman (Los Angeles Dodgers) $9,000: Kyle Teel, Catcher (Chicago White Sox) $6,200.
