Major League Baseball presents Draftkings baseball fans with an interleague matchup featuring the Milwaukee Brewers and the Texas Rangers. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Milwaukee Brewers vs. Texas Rangers game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings MLB single game showdown contest.
Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules
You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.
The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.
If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.
*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.
Here are my Draftkings picks for this afternoon’s Brewers vs. Rangers matchup.
Draftkings MLB Showdown Picks
Captain-Freddy Peralta, Starting Pitcher, Milwaukee Brewers $12,000
On Wednesday afternoon, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a three-game interleague series featuring the Milwaukee Brewers and the Texas Rangers.
How are these two teams playing entering this MLB game? The Milwaukee Brewers arrive at the third game of this three-game series with the Texas Rangers playing good baseball. The Brewers have won three of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a dominant 10-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates three days ago.
Similar to the Milwaukee Brewers, Texas Rangers are playing quality baseball entering this MLB game. More specifically, the have won four of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 4-3 win over the Houston Astros last week.
Now that we have ascertained how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our attention to today’s contest. Starting pitcher Freddy Peralta has certainly been a solid contributor for the Milwaukee Brewers starting pitching rotation this season. Having stated that, how has the talented pitcher performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s review Peralta’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.
Through 29 starts made in 2025, Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta has compiled a 16-5 (win-loss record), a 2.50 ERA (Earned Run Average) and a 1.07 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched) which ranks 15th in MLB. Additionally, Peralta has amassed a massive 176 strikeouts (ninth in MLB) in 158.2 innings pitched this season.
As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings 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 view, Freddy Peralta is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this MLB game. With that said, I am backing Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta at the captain position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
Flex plays I like to play well in this MLB regular season contest (Draftkings price noted): Merrill Kelly, Starting Pitcher (Texas Rangers) $10,600: Jackson Chourio, Outfielder (Milwaukee Brewers) $9,400.
