FanDuel Best MLB Player Selections: Tigers vs. White Sox 8/26/24

Major League Baseball presents a matchup between the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago White Sox. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from a FanDuel perspective.

Before we dive into the Detroit Tigers vs. Chicago White Sox 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 tonight’s Detroit Tigers vs. Chicago White Sox matchup.

FanDuel MLB Player Selections

MVP-Luis Robert Jr., Outfielder, Chicago White Sox $8,500

On Monday evening, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a four game American League series between the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago White Sox.

How are these two teams playing entering tonight’s MLB Game? The Chicago White Sox arrive at this evening’s contest with the Detroit Tigers playing below average baseball. Let me be more specific. The White Sox have lost nine of the team’s last 11 Games played in 2024, including a 4-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants last week.

Conversely, the Detroit Tigers have been playing quality baseball recently. The Tigers have won ten of the team’s last 13 games played in the 2024 MLB regular season, including an impressive 10-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs four days ago.

It should be noted that the Detroit Tigers defeated the Chicago White Sox 9-4 in last night’s third game of this four game American League series.

Now that we have ascertained how both of these American League teams are currently playing let’s turn our attention to tonight’s game. White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. has been an essential part of the Chicago White Sox lineup this season. In his last three games played for the Chicago White Sox in the 2024 MLB regular season, Luis Robert Jr. tallied six hits, three runs scored, and one walk in 13 plate appearances. Clearly, Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is swinging the bat at a high level entering this evening’s matchup with the Detroit Tigers.

Star-Parker Meadows, Outfielder, Detroit Tigers $6,500

How important has Detroit outfielder Parker Meadows been to the Detroit Tigers offense in 2024? Let’s review a sample of Meadows recent game data to answer that question.

In his last four games played for the Detroit Tigers in the 2024 MLB regular season, Parker Meadows accumulated seven hits, two RBIs (runs batted in), five runs scored, and one walk in 14 plate appearances.

Flex plays I like to play well this evening (FanDuel price noted): Andrew Vaughn, First Baseman (Chicago White Sox) $7,500: Spencer Torkelson, First Baseman (Detroit Tigers) $7,500.
