New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
October 13, 2024 8:15 pm EDT

On Sunday night, Major League Baseball presents FanDuel baseball fans with a playoff matchup between the New York Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Let’s take a look at this MLB Game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the New York Mets 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 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 tomorrow night’s New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers matchup.

FanDuel MLB Player Selections

MVP-Francisco Lindor, Shortstop New York Mets $9,000

On Sunday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening Game of the 2024 National League Championship series featuring the New York Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

How are these two teams playing entering tomorrow evening’s MLB playoff game? The Los Angeles Dodgers arrive at the first game of the 2024 National League Championship series playing rather good baseball. The Dodgers have won 12 of the team’s last 16 games played this season, including a dominating 13-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies last week.

Similar to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New York Mets have been playing quality baseball recently. More specifically, the New York Mets have won eight of the team’s last 10 Games played this season, including a 4-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers nine days ago.

Now that we have determined how both of these Major League Baseball teams are currently playing let’s shift our attention to tomorrow’s National League Championship series game.

New York shortstop Francisco Lindor has certainly been playing outstanding baseball for the New York Mets in 2024. Let me provide Lindor’s recent game data to better shed light on my previous statement.

In his last five games played for the New York Mets in the 2024 MLB regular season, Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor has tallied seven hits (three doubles), five runs scored, six RBIs (runs batted in) and three walks in 25 plate appearances.

In conclusion, I am backing New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor at the MVP position for this one game MLB FanDuel slate.

Star-Teoscar Hernandez, Outfielder, Los Angeles Dodgers $7,500

Los Angeles outfielder Teoscar Hernandez has been a key contributor to the Los Angeles Dodgers offense in 2024. Having stated that, how has Hernandez been playing from a statistical standpoint?

Teoscar Hernandez arrives at the first game of the 2024 National League Championship series on the heels of an eight-game hitting streak. In the eight games just noted, Hernandez compiled 12 hits (four home runs), five runs scored, and two walks.

Flex plays I like (FanDuel price noted): Shohei Ohtani, Outfielder (Los Angeles Dodgers) $10,000: Freddie Freeman, First Baseman (Los Angeles Dodgers) $7,000: Pete Alonso, First Baseman (New York Mets) $7,500.
