FanDuel Best MLB DFS Picks: Rockies vs. Dodgers 9/21/24
Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
September 21, 2024 9:10 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 $10,000
On Saturday night, Major League Baseball presents the second 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 second 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 eight 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 Dodgers have won four of the team’s last five games played this season, including a dominating 20-4 victory over the Miami Marlins two days ago.
It should be noted that the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies 6-4 in last night’s opening game of this three 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.
Los Angeles outfielder Shohei Ohtani has simply been playing outstanding baseball for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024. In his last four Games played for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 MLB regular season, Dodgers outfielder Shohei Ohtani has tallied a robust 11 hits (five home runs), seven runs scored, and 14 RBIs (runs batted in) in 20 plate appearances.
What did we learn from the statistical data just presented? Clearly, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Shohei Ohtani is swinging the bat at a high-level entering tonight’s matchup with the Rockies. For that specific reason, I am backing Shohei Ohtani at the MVP position for this one game MLB FanDuel DFS slate.
Star-Max Muncy, Third Baseman, Los Angeles Dodgers $8,500
In addition to Shohei Ohtani, Los Angeles third baseman Max Muncy has been a key contributor to the Los Angeles Dodgers offense in 2024. Having stated that, how has Muncy been playing from a statistical standpoint?
In his last four games played for the Dodgers this season, Max Muncy compiled six hits (three doubles), five runs scored, and three walks in 14 plate appearances.
Flex plays I like (FanDuel price noted): Michael Toglia, First Baseman (Colorado Rockies) $7,000: Mookie Betts, Second Baseman (Los Angeles Dodgers) $9,000: Ezequiel Tovar, Shortstop (Colorado Rockies) $6,500.
