Budget picks for MLB DFS August 21

Josh Lowe ($3900 on DraftKings)

Josh Lowe's overall offensive metrics aren't great this season for the Tampa Bay Rays, but he does have 17 steals. That's a number hard to come by in this price range, plus he has a solid matchup with the Oakland Athletics today.

Gleyber Torres ($3800 on DraftKings)

There's a good reason Gleyber Torres is so cheap, and it's because the New York Yankees star is having a career-worst season. However, after such a brutal game yesterday, and since he is a former All-Star, he is bound to hit decently.

Kerry Carpenter ($4200 on DraftKings)

Kerry Carpenter has just five hits in August, a less-than-impressive total so far, on August 21. However, he's only had 20 at-bats and has hit three home runs on his five hits for the Detroit Tigers.
