FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Helper: Wednesday 7/31/19

Houston's offense is in a terrific spot in tonight's matchup with Zach Plesac and the Indians. Which Astros bats should be at the core of your lineup?

The beauty of daily fantasy baseball is that the top targets are different each and every day. Whether it's the right-handed catcher who destroys left-handed pitching or the mid-range hurler facing a depleted lineup, you're not going to find yourself using the same assets time after time.

While this breaks up the monotony, it can make it hard to decide which players are primed to succeed on a given day. We can help bridge that gap.

In addition to our custom optimal lineups, you can check out our batting and pitching heat maps, which show the pieces in the best spot to succeed on that slate. Put on the finishing touches with our games and lineups page to see who's hitting where and what the weather looks like, and you'll have yourself a snazzy-looking team to put up some big point totals.

If you need help getting started on that trek, here are some of the top options on the board today. We'll be focusing exclusively on the main slate.

Pitchers to Target

High-Priced Pitcher

Jose Berrios ($10,400 on FanDuel): Berrios gets the best possible match up here, as the Miami Marlins rank last in baseball in wOBA (.282) for the season. This season in matchups against teams with bottom-five wOBAs (the Marlins, Detroit Tigers, San Francisco Giants, Chicago White Sox and Toronto Blue Jays) Berrios has dominated. In five starts against those teams, Berrios has thrown 34 ⅔ innings with a 2.08 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and a 29:2 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
