Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with an American League matchup featuring the Los Angeles Angels and the Athletics. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Los Angeles Angels vs. Athletics 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 afternoon’s Los Angeles Angels vs. Athletics matchup.

FanDuel MLB Player Selections

MVP-Logan O’Hoppe, Catcher, Los Angeles Angels $7,800

On Thursday afternoon, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a four-game American League series featuring the Los Angeles Angels and the Athletics.

How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The Los Angeles Angels arrive at the fourth game of this four-game series with the Athletics playing good baseball. The Angels have won six of the team’s last seven games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 6-4 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers four days ago.

In direct contrast to the Los Angeles Angels, the Athletics are playing below average baseball entering this evening’s game. More specifically, the Athletics have lost nine of the team’s last ten games played this season, including an embarrassing 19-2 defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers last week.

Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to tonight’s contest. Catcher Logan O’Hoppe has certainly been an essential part of the Los Angeles Angels starting lineup  this season. With that said, how has the talented catcher performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s review’s O’Hoppe’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

In the 31 games that catcher Logan O’Hoppe has played for the Los Angeles Angels in the 2025 MLB regular season, O’Hoppe has compiled a robust .259 batting average, 10 home runs (17th in MLB), seven walks, 23 RBIs (runs batted in), 18 runs scored, a .301 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and a .775 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging).

Last night, in the Los Angeles Angels 10-5 win over the Athletics, Los Angeles catcher Logan O’Hoppe certainly played at a high level. In the Angels victory over the Athletics, O’Hoppe tallied two hits (two home runs), three runs scored, three RBIs and one walk. It should also be mentioned that in the Angels defeat of the Athletics, O’Hoppe amassed a massive 34 FanDuel points.

In my opinion, Logan O’Hoppe is the most likely player to accumulate the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. Having stated that, I am backing Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O’Hoppe at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): Zach Neto, Shortstop (Los Angeles Angels) $13,600: Tyler Soderstrom, First Baseman (Athletics) $12,200: Lawrence Butler, Outfielder (Athletics) $8,400.

Draftkings MLB Showdown Picks

Captain-Dustin May, Starting Pitcher, Los Angeles Dodgers $10,600

On Tuesday night, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a three-game National League series featuring the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at the third game of this three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks playing below average baseball. The Dodgers have lost four of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 6-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels four days ago.

Conversely, the Arizona Diamondbacks are playing well entering this evening’s National League game. More specifically, the Diamondbacks have won four of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an 8-0 shutout win over the Colorado Rockies last week.

Now that we have identified how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to this evening’s contest. Starting pitcher Dustin May has been a standout performer for the Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitching rotation this season. Having stated that, how has the veteran pitcher performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s review May’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Dustin May has compiled a 1-4 (won-loss record), a 4.43 ERA (Earned Run Average) and a 1.28 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched) in 2025. It should also be mentioned that May has amassed 41 strikeouts while allowing 17 walks in 44.2 innings pitched this season.

More recently, in the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies last month, Los Angeles starting pitcher Dustin May certainly pitched exceptionally well. May pitched six quality innings while scattering three hits and no walks in the Dodgers victory over the Rockies. Additionally, in the Dodgers win over the Colorado Rockies, May accumulated a whopping 27.7 Draftkings points.

In my opinion, Dustin May is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in tonight’s MLB game. With that said, I am backing Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Dustin May 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): Corbin Burnes, Starting Pitcher (Arizona Diamondbacks) $12,400: Shohei Ohtani, First Baseman (Los Angeles Dodgers) $9,400: Freddie Freeman, First Baseman (Los Angeles Angels) $9,000.

Conversely, the Kansas City Royals are playing below average baseball entering the third game of this interleague series. The Royals have lost five of the team’s last seven games played this season, including a 4-3 loss to the Houston Astros last week.

Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to tonight’s contest.

With that said, how has Webb performed from a statistical perspective in 2025? Let’s review the veteran hurler’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

FanDuel MLB Player Selections

MVP-Bryce Harper, First Baseman, Philadelphia Phillies $13,000

On Monday night, Major League Baseball presents the second game of a four-game National League series featuring the Philadelphia Phillies and the Colorado Rockies.

How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The Philadelphia Phillies arrive at the second game of this four-game series with the Colorado Rockies playing good baseball. The Phillies have won five of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 1-0 shutout win over the Pittsburgh Pirates two days ago.

Conversely, the Colorado Rockies are playing below average baseball entering the second game of this National League series. More specifically, the Rockies have lost five of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an 8-3 loss to the Texas Rangers last week.

Now that we have identified how both of these teams are currently playing let’s turn our attention to tonight’s contest. First Baseman Bryce Harper has certainly been a standout performer for the Philadelphia Phillies this season. With that said, how has the veteran first baseman performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s review’s Harper’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

In the 45 games that first baseman Bryce Harper has played for the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2025 MLB regular season, Harper has compiled a robust .260 batting average, seven home runs, 33 walks, 28 RBIs (runs batted in), 26 runs scored, a .376 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and a .799 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging).

In the Phillies victory over the Pirates, Harper tallied three hits, two runs scored, two RBIs, one walk and one stolen base. It should also be mentioned that in the Phillies defeat of the Pirates, Harper tallied a massive 31.4 FanDuel points.

In my opinion, Bryce Harper is the most likely player to accumulate the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. Having stated that, I am backing Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Draftkings MLB Showdown Picks

Captain-Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Starting Pitcher, Los Angeles Dodgers $12,000

Later today , Major League Baseball presents the second game of a three-game National League series featuring the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at the second game of this three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks playing below average baseball. The Dodgers have lost four of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an 11-9 loss to the Los Angeles Angels three days ago.

Conversely, the Arizona Diamondbacks are playing good baseball entering the second game of this National League series. The Diamondbacks have won four of the team’s last five games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a thrilling 8-7 win over the San Francisco Giants last week.

Now that we have identified how both of these teams are currently playing let’s turn our attention to tonight’s contest. Starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto has certainly been an essential part of the Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitching rotation this season. With that said, how has Yamamoto performed from a statistical perspective in 2025? Let’s review the veteran pitcher’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

Through nine starts made in 2025, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto has compiled a 5-3 (win-loss record), a 2.12 ERA (Earned Run Average) and a 0.98 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched).

More recently, in the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 shutout victory over the Texas Rangers last month, Los Angeles starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched exceptionally well. Let me be more specific. Yamamoto pitched seven quality innings while scattering five hits and no walks in the Dodgers win over the Rangers.

In my view, Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in tonight’s MLB regular season game. Having stated that, I am backing Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto at the captain position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Flex plays I like to play well in this MLB regular season game (Draftkings price noted): Ryne Nelson, Starting Pitcher (Arizona Diamondbacks) $9,600: Shohei Ohtani, Outfielder (Los Angeles Dodgers) $10,600: Freddie Freeman, First Baseman (Los Angeles Dodgers) $10,200.

Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with a National League matchup featuring the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Arizona Diamondbacks 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 evening’s Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Los Angeles Dodgers matchup.

FanDuel MLB Player Selections

MVP-Freddie Freeman, First Baseman, Los Angeles Dodgers $13,000

On Monday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening game of a three-game National League series featuring the Arizona Diamondbacks 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 Arizona Diamondbacks playing below average baseball. The Dodgers have lost three of the team’s last four games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 6-2 loss to Los Angeles Angels two days ago.

In direct contrast to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Arizona Diamondbacks are playing good baseball entering the first game of this National League series. More specifically, the Diamondbacks have won three of the team’s last four games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an 8-0 shutout win over the Colorado Rockies last week.

Now that we have identified how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to tonight’s contest. First Baseman Freddie Freeman has certainly been a standout performer for the Los Angeles Dodgers. With that said, how has the veteran first baseman performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s review’s Ohtani’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

In the 46 games that first baseman Freddie Freeman has played for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2025 MLB regular season, Freeman has compiled a robust .370 batting average (second in MLB), nine home runs, 15 walks, 34 RBIs (runs batted in), 26 runs scored, a .430 OBP (On-Base Percentage) and a 1.145 OPS (On-Base Plus Slugging) which ranks second in the National League.

More recently, in the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-1 win over the Diamondbacks last week, Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman certainly played at a high level. In the Dodgers win over the Diamondbacks, Freeman tallied four hits (one home run), two runs scored and two doubles. It should also be mentioned that in the Dodgers defeat of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Freeman tallied a whopping 43.9 FanDuel points.

In my view, Freddie Freeman is the most likely player to amass the most FanDuel points in this MLB game. Having stated that, I am rolling with Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman at the MVP position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): Shohei Ohtani, Outfielder (Los Angeles Dodgers) $14,800: Corbin Carroll, Outfielder (Arizona Diamondbacks) $13,600: Andy Pages, Outfielder (Los Angeles Dodgers) $8,400.

MVP-Jarren Duran, Outfielder, Boston Red Sox $9,000

On Monday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening game of a three-game interleague series featuring the New York Mets and the Boston Red Sox.

How are these two teams playing entering this evening’s interleague game? The Boston Red sox arrive at the first game of this three-game series with the New York Mets playing below average baseball. Let me be more specific. The Red Sox have lost five of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including an embarrassing 14-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers one week ago.

Similar to the Boston Red Sox, the New York Mets are not playing well entering this MLB game. The Mets have lost three of the team’s last four games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 6-2 loss to the New York Yankees three days ago.

Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to this interleague game. Outfielder Jarren Duran has been a solid performer for the Boston Red Sox this season. With that said, how has the veteran outfielder performed from a statistical standpoint? Let’s examine Duran’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

In the 37 games that Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran has played in the 2025 MLB regular season, Duran has compiled a robust .259 batting average, 54 hits (three home runs), seven walks, 27 RBIs (runs batted in), a .312 OBS (On-Base Percentage) and a .697 OPS (On-base Plus Slugging).

More recently, in the Boston Red Sox’s 7-6 win over the Atlanta Braves two days ago, Boston outfielder Jarren Duran certainly played at a high level. More specifically, in the Boston Red Sox’s victory over the Braves, Duran amassed two hits (one home run), four RBIs and one run scored. It should also be mentioned that in the Red Sox’s defeat of the Braves, Duran compiled a whopping 32.2 FanDuel points.

In my view, Jarren Duran’s reasonable FanDuel price of only $9,800 presents the best fantasy value on this MLB DFS slate. For that specific reason, I am rolling with Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel MLB DFS slate.

Flex plays I like in this game (FanDuel price noted): Rafael Devers, Third Baseman (Boston Red Sox) $12,000: Brandon Nimmo, Outfielder (New York Mets) $8,400: David Hamilton, Second Baseman (Boston Red Sox) $4,200.

*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 tomorrow night’s Houston Astros vs. Tampa Bay Rays matchup.

Draftkings MLB Showdown Picks

Captain-Ryan Pepiot, Starting Pitcher, Tampa Bay Rays $10,800

On Monday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening game of a three-game American League series featuring the Houston Astros and the Tampa Bay Rays.

How are these two teams playing entering tomorrow’s MLB game? The Tampa Bay Rays arrive at the first game of this three-game series with the Houston Astros playing below average baseball. The Rays have lost four of the team’s last seven games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 9-4 loss to the Miami Marlins two days ago.

In direct contrast to the Tampa Bay Rays, the Houston Astros are playing well entering tomorrow night’s American League game. The Astros have won four of the team’s last six games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals earlier this week.

Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to tomorrow night’s game. Starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot has been a solid contributor for the Tampa Bay Rays starting pitching rotation this season. With that said, how has Pepiot performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s review Pepiot’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

In nine starts made this season, Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot has compiled a 2-5 (won-loss record), a 3.93 ERA (Earned Run Average) and a 1.29 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched) in 2025. It is also noteworthy that Pepiot has tallied 45 strikeouts while allowing 17 walks in 50.1 innings pitched this season.

Last week, in the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, Tampa Bay starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot pitched rather well. Let me be more specific. Pepiot pitched six quality innings while scattering six hits and one walk in the Blue Jays win over the Rays. Additionally, in the Blue Jays win over Tampa Bay, Pepiot accumulated 17.3 Draftkings points.

In my view, Ryan Pepiot is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in tomorrow night’s MLB game. Having stated that, I am backing Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot 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): Josh Lowe, Outfielder (Tampa Bay Rays) $9,800: Isaac Paredes, Third Baseman (Houston Astros) $7,200: Jose Caballero, Outfielder (Tampa Bay Rays) $7,000.

Draftkings MLB Showdown Picks

Captain-Max Fried, Starting Pitcher, New York Yankees $12,400

On Sunday night, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a three-game interleague series featuring the New York Mets and the New York Yankees.

How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The New York Yankees arrive at the third game of this three-game series with the New York Mets playing good baseball. The Yankees have won five of the team’s last eight games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a dominating 10-2 win over the Athletics last week.

Similar to the New York Yankees, the New York Mets are playing well entering this evening’s interleague game. Let me be more specific. The Mets have won six of the team’s last nine games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 2-1 defeat of the Pittsburgh Pirates five days ago.

Now that we have determined how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our attention to tonight’s contest. Starting pitcher Max Fried has been standout contributor for the New York Yankees this season. Having stated that, how has the talented pitcher performed from a statistical standpoint in 2025? Let’s review Fried’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

Through nine starts in 2025, New York Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried holds a 6-0 (win-loss record), a 1.11 ERA (Earned Run Average) and a 0.94 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched). Additionally, Fried has compiled 52 strikeouts in 56.2 innings pitched this season.

Last month, in the New York Yankees 7-0 shutout win over the Detroit Tigers, New York starting pitcher Max Fried certainly pitched at a high level. Fried pitched seven quality innings while scattering five hits and no walks in the Yankees victory over the Tigers.

In my opinion, Max Fried is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in tonight’s MLB game. With that said, I am rolling with New York Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried at the captain position for this one game MLB DFS slate.

Captain-Tony Gonsolin, Starting Pitcher, Los Angeles Dodgers $12,000

On Sunday afternoon, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a three-game interleague series featuring the Los Angeles Angels and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

How are these two teams playing entering today’s MLB game? The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at the third game of this three-game series with the Los Angeles Angels playing below average baseball. The Dodgers have lost five of the team’s last nine games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 3-0 shutout loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks last week.

In direct contrast to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Los Angeles Angels are playing well entering this afternoon’s interleague game. Let me be more specific. The Angels have won four of the team’s last seven games played in the 2025 MLB regular season, including a 9-5 defeat of the San Diego Padres six days ago.

Now that we have identified how both of these teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to today’s game. Starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin has been a standout performer for the Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitching rotation this season. With that said, how has Gonsolin performed from a statistical standpoint? Let’s review the veteran hurler’s relevant game data from the 2025 MLB regular season to answer that question.

In three starts made this season, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin has compiled a robust 2-0 (won-loss record), a 2.81 ERA (Earned Run Average) and a 1.06 WHIP (Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched) in 2025. Additionally, Gonsolin has amassed 21 strikeouts while allowing four walks in 16 innings pitched this season.

More recently, in the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks one week ago, Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin pitched rather well. Gonsolin pitched five quality innings while scattering three hits and two walks in the Dodgers victory over the Diamondbacks. It should also be mentioned that in the Dodgers win over Arizona, Gonsolin accumulated 20.3 Draftkings points.

In my opinion, Tony Gonsolin is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this afternoon’s MLB game. For that specific reason, I am rolling with Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin at the captain position for this one game MLB DFS slate.
