Budget picks for MLB DFS, August 27

3. Wilyer Abreu ($4200 on DraftKings)

Abreu has a .833 OPS with 14 home runs this year. Those numbers are good, and at this price, the Red Sox star could be a steal today.

2. Michael Harris II ($4400 on DraftKings)

Pick Michael Harris for DFS (Image credit: Imagn)

Harris has had a slow return from injury for the Atlanta Braves, but his track record suggests he should return to good form soon. Eventually, he will break out and cost more, so he's a good DFS pick right now.

1. Otto Lopez ($4000 on DraftKings)

Lopez has six hits in the last week. Yesterday, he had a .333 average and a .833 OPS for the Miami Marlins, so he's been on a bit of a hot streak. He's a good choice as well for today.
