On Sunday afternoon, Major League Baseball presents the final game of a four game American League series between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox.

How are these two teams playing entering today’s MLB game? The New York Yankees arrive at the fourth game of this four game American League series with the Boston Red Sox playing quality baseball. The Yankees have won six of the team’s last nine games played in the 2024 MLB regular season, including a 3-0 shutout win over the Chicago Cubs last week.

In direct contrast to the New York Yankees, the Boston Red Sox have not been playing good baseball recently. The Red Sox have lost four of the team’s last seven games played this season, including a 5-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles five days ago.

It should be noted that the Boston Red Sox defeated the New York Yankees 7-1 in last night’s third game of this four game American League series.

Now that we have identified how both of these Major League Baseball teams are currently playing let’s shift our focus to today’s game. Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon has proven to be an essential part of the New York Yankees starting rotation this season. Having stated that, how has Rodon been playing from a statistical standpoint in 2024? Let’s review Carlos Rodon’s relevant game data to answer that question.

In the 29 games that Carlos Rodon has pitched for the New York Yankees in the 2024 MLB regular season, Carlos Rodon has posted a 4.15 ERA (Earned Run Average), 1.21 WHIP (walks, hits, inning pitched) and added a massive 181 strikeouts while allowing 50 walks.

More recently, in the New York Yankees 10-4 win over the Kansas City Royals six days ago, New York starting pitcher Carlos Rodon pitched rather well. Let me be more specific. Rodon pitched six innings striking out nine Kansas City batters while allowing scattering six hits and one walk in the Yankees victory over the Royals.

In conclusion, I am backing talented New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon at the captain position for this one game MLB DFS Showdown slate.

Flex plays I like (Draftkings price noted): Kutter Crawford, Starting Pitcher, (Boston Red Sox) $10,600: Jarren Duran, Outfielder (Boston Red Sox) $9,200: Aaron Judge, Outfielder (New York Yankees) $9,800.

More recently, in the Boston Red Sox’s 5-4 victory over the Texas Rangers five days ago, Boston pitcher Brayan Bello certainly pitched at a high level. Let me be more specific. Brayan Bello pitched six innings striking out five Texas batters while allowing only four hits and three walks in the Red Sox win over the Rangers. I fully expect Brayan Bello to continue to post outstanding fantasy numbers versus the Baltimore Orioles later today.

For the reasons just noted, I am backing Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Brayan Bello as my captain for this one game DFS MLB contest.

Before we dive into the Boston Red Sox vs. Baltimore Orioles game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Boston Red Sox vs. Baltimore Orioles matchup.

On Thursday night, Major League Baseball presents the second game of a four game American League series between the Boston Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles.

How are these two American League teams playing entering tonight’s game? The Baltimore Orioles arrive at this evening’s contest playing quality baseball. More specifically, the Baltimore Orioles have won five of the team’s last eight games played in the 2024 MLB regular season, including an 4-1 win over the Washington Nationals two days ago.

In direct contrast to the Baltimore Orioles, the Boston Red Sox arrive at the second game of this four game American League series playing below average baseball. Let’s review the Red Sox recent game data to better shed light on my previous statement. The Boston Red Sox have lost six of the team’s last eight games played this season, including an embarrassing 10-2 loss to the Houston Astros last week.

It should be noted that the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Boston Red Sox 5-1 in last night’s first game of this four game American League series.

Talented Baltimore pitcher Corbin Burnes has certainly established himself as a valuable member of the Baltimore Orioles starting pitching rotation this season. Having stated that, how has Burnes been playing from a statistical standpoint in 2024? Let’s review Burne’s recent game data to answer that question.

In the 24r games that Corbin Burnes has pitched for the Baltimore Orioles in the 2024 MLB regular season, Burnes has posted an impressive 2.71 ERA (Earned Run Average), 1.05 WHIP (walks, hits, inning pitched) and added 137 strikeouts while allowing 35 walks.

More recently, in the Baltimore Orioles 9-5 victory over the Cleveland Guardians 11 days ago, Baltimore hurler Corbin Burnes pitched rather well. Let me be more specific. Corbin Burnes pitched five innings striking out five Cleveland batters while allowing six hits and one walk in the Orioles win over the Guardians. I fully expect Corbin Burnes to continue to pitch at a high level versus the Boston Red Sox later today.

For the reasons just noted, I am backing Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes as my captain for this one game DFS MLB contest.
