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 Pitchers

Justin Verlander ($11,400 on FanDuel): Verlander is in his own tier tonight as our models project him for 37.8 FanDuel points, 7.0 more than anyone else. He's got a 35.0% strikeout rate, 16.1% swinging-strike rate, 5.1% walk rate and 3.01 SIERA this season. His floor-ceiling combination is unmatched on this slate, and we project him to have the night's most punchouts in his matchup with the Los Angeles Angels.
