FanDuel Best MLB DFS Picks: Rockies vs. Dodgers 9/20/24
Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
September 20, 2024 10:10 pm EDT
Major League Baseball presents a matchup between the Colorado Rockies and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a FanDuel perspective.
Before we dive into the Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers 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 Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers matchup.
FanDuel MLB Player Selections
MVP-Shohei Ohtani, Outfielder, Los Angeles Dodgers $9,500
On Friday night, Major League Baseball presents the opening Game of a three Game National League series between the Colorado Rockies and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
How are these two teams playing entering today’s MLB game? The Colorado Rockies arrive at the first game of this three game National League series with the Dodgers playing quality baseball. Let me be more specific. The Rockies have won five of the team’s last seven games played in the 2024 MLB regular season, including an 8-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks earlier in the week.
Similar to the Colorado Rockies, the Los Angeles Dodgers have been playing good baseball recently. The Rockies have won three of the team’s last four games played this season, including a dominating 20-4 victory over the Miami Marlins one day ago.
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.
Los Angeles outfielder Shohei Ohtani has simply been playing outstanding baseball for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024. In his last three games played for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 MLB regular season, Dodgers outfielder Shohei Ohtani has tallied a whopping eight hits (four home runs), five runs scored, and 12 RBIs (runs batted in) in 16 plate appearances.
In conclusion, I think Shohei Ohtani is the most likely player to post the most fantasy points in tonight’s MLB regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing talented Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Shohei Ohtani at the MVP position for this one game MLB FanDuel contest.
Star-Teoscar Hernandez, Outfielder, Los Angeles Dodgers $8,500
In addition to Shohei Ohtani, 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?
In his last seven Games played for the Dodgers this season, Teoscar Hernandez compiled eight hits (one home run), seven runs scored, and three walks in 28 plate appearances.
Flex plays I like (FanDuel price noted): Brenton Doyle, Outfielder (Colorado Rockies) $8,000: Mookie Betts, Second Baseman (Los Angeles Dodgers) $9,000: Ezequiel Tovar, Shortstop (Colorado Rockies) $7,000.
