FanDuel Best MLB DFS Picks: Red Sox vs. Blue Jays 9/23/24

Major League Baseball presents a matchup between the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays. Let’s take a look at this MLB Game from a FanDuel perspective.

Before we dive into the Boston Red Sox vs. Toronto Blue Jays 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 evening’s Boston Red Sox vs. Toronto Blue Jays matchup.

FanDuel MLB Player Selections

MVP-Vladimir Guerrero Jr., First Baseman, Toronto Blue Jays $9,500

On Monday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening game of a three game American League series between the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays.

How are these two teams playing entering today’s MLB game? The Boston Red Sox arrive at the first game of this three game American League series with the Blue Jays playing below average baseball. The Red Sox have lost four of the team’s last seven games played in the 2024 MLB regular season, including a 2-0 shutout loss to the Tampa Bay Rays last week.

Similar to the Boston Red Sox, the Toronto Blue Jays have not been playing good baseball recently. Let me be more specific. The Blue Jays have lost five of the team’s last six games played this season, including a 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays two days ago.

Now that we have ascertained how both of these Major League Baseball teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to this evening’s contest. Toronto first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continues to be an essential part of the Toronto Blue Jays lineup in 2024. Let’s review Guerrero Jr.’s recent game data to better shed light on my previous statement.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. arrives at tonight’s contest on the heels of a four-game hitting streak. In that four-game span just noted, Guerrero Jr. tallied ten hits (two home runs), three runs scored, three RBIs (runs batted in), and one walk in only 19 plate appearances. I fully expect Guerrero Jr. to continue his outstanding play versus the Red Sox later today.

I am rolling with Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as my MVP for this one Game FanDuel MLB DFS slate.

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

In his last three Games played for the Boston Red Sox in the 2024 MLB regular season, Duran accumulated five hits (one double), two RBIs (runs batted in), and three runs scored, and four walks 17 plate appearances. Clearly, Duran is swinging the bat well for the Red Sox entering tonight’s Game.

Flex plays I like to play well this evening (FanDuel price noted): Triston Casas, First Baseman (Boston Red Sox) $6,000: George Springer, Outfielder (Toronto Blue Jays) $8,000.
