Just over one month remains in the MLB regular season, as the final games are set to be played on September 27. In six days, the calendar will flip to September, and rosters will expand slightly to allow top prospects to dip their toes in the MLB waters and audition for a postseason role.

Although all 30 teams are in action today, only seven games are available as part of tonight’s featured late slate of action at DraftKings. A relatively small slate requires picking players wisely, choosing the best options at a range of price points to maximize the $50,000 budget. Here’s how I’d go about building my lineup.

PITCHER

Stud

Roki Sasaki, Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves ($7,700) — Sasaki has become a completely different pitcher since the All-Star break. Since then, he’s made six starts, tossing 35.0 innings and pitching to a 2.31 ERA (18.7 FPTS per game), giving up two or fewer earned runs in each game. He should have no problem continuing his hot form against a struggling Braves offense that ranks just seventh in OPS in August and is just 7-10 in its last 17 games. Sasaki has some issues with walks, but Atlanta has drawn the third-fewest free passes in the league this season.

Value

Connor Prielipp, Minnesota Twins at Athletics ($6,200) — Prielipp has had a pretty rough rookie season, posting a 5.57 ERA and averaging just 12.6 FPTS per game, but like Sasaki, he’s begun to show more flashes as of late. In a five-start stretch between June 28 and August 9, Prielipp pitched to a 4.00 ERA, averaging 17.5 FPTS per game, and while he’s imploded in his last two starts, shutting down the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres is a much tougher task than shutting down these Athletics. The Athletics are currently without Nick Kurtz ($4,200), Shea Langeliers ($4,300), and Tyler Soderstrom ($2,000), taking virtually all of the juice out of their lineup.

INFIELD

Stud

Luis García Jr., New York Yankees vs. Houston Astros ($5,000) — In recent games, García has alternated trash with treasure, posting games of 22, 0, 18, 4, and 31 FPTS, but it’s resulted in pretty good numbers overall across a 10-game span (.949 OPS, 8.8 FPTS per game). He’ll be facing one of this slate’s most expensive pitchers, the Astros’ Peter Lambert ($8,700), but Lambert is coming off of a stinker against the Los Angeles Angels on August 20, giving up nine runs in 3.2 innings (negative-9.8 FPTS). Lambert has had a below-average pulled fly ball rate in four of his five seasons, and that could be all García needs to send one into Yankee Stadium’s short porch. He’s posted a .587 xSLG against right-handed four-seamers this season.

Value

Salvador Perez, Kansas City Royals at Toronto Blue Jays ($3,400) — The Royals have somehow won nine straight games, and their talisman has found his groove, recording double-digit FPTS in four of his last six games. It’s been a brutal season for the 36-year-old Perez, but the last week has demonstrated that he still has it. He doesn’t have the easiest matchup in a Toronto bullpen that has posted a 3.42 ERA this month, but Mason Fluharty ($5,000) and Braydon Fisher ($4,000) have both thrown on three of the last five days and Tyler Rogers ($4,000) threw 18 pitches last night, so it’s possible that none of those three pitchers will be available tonight.

OUTFIELD

Stud

Jordan Walker, St. Louis Cardinals vs. Baltimore Orioles ($5,700) — Since Sasaki is relatively cheap for a stud pitcher option, let’s break the bank here a little bit and go with Walker, who had a cold stretch right after the All-Star break but is thoroughly in the zone right now, slashing .366/.409/.756 (14.1 FPTS per game) across his last 10 games. Kyle Bradish ($8,000) is a decent pitcher, but he doesn’t generate a lot of chases or whiffs, mitigating Walker’s biggest weaknesses, and he sports just a 41st-percentile barrel rate. Bradish has also given up a significantly higher slugging percentage on the road.

Value

Luis Lara, Milwaukee Brewers at New York Mets ($3,300) — I’ve picked Lara in this spot before, as I’m high on the Brewers’ young core in general (Lara, Cooper Pratt ($3,700), and top prospect Jesús Made), but if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. Over his last 10 games, Lara has posted a .308/.325/.462 slash line, averaging 7.6 FPTS per game, and the Mets are turning to a relatively untested option in Robert Stock ($5,000), who has a 4.99 career ERA in 92.0 innings. The switch-hitting Lara has been far better against right-handed pitchers, slugging .585 against the righty four-seamers that Stock likes to throw.
