With a full slate of MLB games and the season rapidly approaching its conclusion, the urgency intensifies for fantasy players. Identifying value in pitching options is crucial, and Shane Baz has emerged as a leading candidate. With a 3.25 ERA and impressive strikeout rate, his matchup against the struggling White Sox positions him as a strong option at $9,000. Jacob Lopez, priced at $6,800, is also noteworthy. Despite being a risk, his strikeout potential makes him worth considering against a Texas team that has struggled offensively.

In terms of hitters, Eugenio Suarez has been on fire, hitting six home runs in just five games, alongside a remarkable .600 OBP. His matchup against a weak lefty adds to his appeal at $5,200. Similarly, Matt Olson is turning his season around and offers a strong profile against a right-hander with an inflated ERA. Budget-conscious players should keep an eye on Vinnie Pasquantino and Ezequiel Tovar, both providing strong numbers at lower costs.
