FanDuel Best MLB DFS Picks: Brewers vs. Reds 9/1/24
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Cincinnati Reds
September 1, 2024 12:10 pm EDT
Major League Baseball presents a matchup between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Cincinnati Reds. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a FanDuel perspective.
Before we dive into the Milwaukee Brewers vs. Cincinnati Reds 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 2x times the standard FanDuel fantasy points value.
The remaining four players in your lineup will be one star and three flex plays. The star player will receive 1.5x the standard fantasy points value. The final three 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 Milwaukee Brewers vs. Cincinnati Reds matchup
FanDuel MLB Picks
MVP-William Contreras, Catcher, Milwaukee Brewers $8,500
On Sunday afternoon, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a four game National League series between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Cincinnati Reds.
How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB game? The Milwaukee Brewers arrive at this afternoon’s game with the Cincinnati Reds playing rather good baseball. More specifically, the Brewers have won 12 of the team’s last 16 games played in the 2024 MLB regular season, including a 9-5 victory over the Oakland Athletics seven days ago.
In direct contrast to the Brewers, the Cincinnati Reds are not playing good baseball entering today’s game. The Reds have lost seven of the team’s last nine games played this season, including a 7-0 shutout loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates last week.
It should be noted that the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 in last night’s third game of this four game National League series.
Now that we have determined how both of these Major League Baseball teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to tonight’s game.
Milwaukee catcher William Contreras has certainly been playing outstanding baseball for the Milwaukee Bucks in 2024. Let me provide Contreras’s recent Game data to better shed light on my previous statement.
In his last five Games played for the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2024 MLB regular season, William Contreras has tallied seven hits (two home runs), six runs scored, six RBIs (runs batted in) and four walks in 16 plate appearances.
Star-Willy Adames, Shortstop, Milwaukee Brewers $9,000
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames arrives at today’s game with the Reds on the heels of a nine-game hitting streak. In his last nine games played for the Brewers in the 2024 MLB regular season, Milwaukee shortstop Willy Adames accumulated 11 hits, nine runs scored, and three walks in 35 plate appearances.
Flex plays I like for today’s Game (Draftkings price noted): Elly De La Cruz, Shortstop (Cincinnati Reds) $9,800: Spencer Steer, First Baseman (Cincinnati Reds) $8,000.
