This article is part of our Dream11 Fantasy CPBL series.
Rakuten Monkeys (23-17) at CTBC Brothers (25-18)
Sunday, June 21th, 6:35 AM EDT
Projected starters
LHP Ryan Carpenter (3-2, 3.62 ERA) vs RHP Liao Yi-Chung (1-3, 7.36 ERA)
Game Preview
The Monkeys exploded on Saturday and secured a huge 11-1 win over the CTBC Brothers, a performance made even more impressive by the fact that the Monkeys inflicted that damage against none other than Ariel Miranda, who has been one of the CPBL's best pitchers in 2020. The Monkeys will attempt to end the week on a strong note by sending lefty Ryan Carpenter to the mound. Carpenter has a strong 3.62 ERA this season and has the arm to dominate any lineup. The Brothers will counter with a local arm, Liao Yi-Chung, who has a poor 7.36 ERA in seven games (six starts) this year.

Top picks:
Lin Li, Monkeys: Li should be a must-start hitter every time the Monkeys play, and he's nearly always worthy of a captain slot. He's hit safely in 11 of 12 games this month and currently sports a .401 average in this 2020 CBPL campaign, to go along with 11 home runs and 36 RBI.
Lin Hung-Yu, Monkeys: Lin typically operates as the Monkeys' designated hitter is listed as a catcher on Dream11, making him a star at a very shallow position. He went 3-for-4 with a home run on Saturday, bumping his batting average up to .365.
Chou Szu-Chi, Brothers: Chang Chih-Hao (16.5 credits) and Chan Tzu-Hsien (13.5 credits) might be strong plays for a Brothers-based lineup, but Chou is a great value pick at just 6.5 credits regardless of which team you're building your lineup around. He's hitting .311 and continues to bat in the heart of the Brothers' order.
Ryan Carpenter, Monkeys: It's hard not to trust Carpenter based on his recent results. He has allowed one or fewer earned runs in three of his last four starts, striking out 29 batters while walking just seven over that stretch..
Captaincy Options:
1. Lin Li
2. Lin Hung-Yu
3. Chou Szu-Chi
