Game Preview

The red-hot Guardians come into this game looking to extend a four-game winning streak that has propelled them to the top of the CPBL standings. Meanwhile, the Brothers just snapped a three-game losing skid with a 4-1 win against the Monkeys on Sunday, but they still find themselves in last place of the second-half standings. 

Guardians pitcher Mike Loree will look to notch his first win against CTBC this season after forging an 0-2 mark and 7.00 ERA in previous encounters with the Brothers. Then, Brothers starter Liao Yi-Chung also is in search of his first victory against his opponent, as he has an 0-1 tally and 6.75 ERA thus far versus Fubon.

Top Picks/Captaincy Options

Jhang Jin-De, Guardians- Jhiang just continues to decimate opposing pitchers, with the latest example his 4-for-4, three-RBI effort against the Lions on Sunday that included his fourth home run. He's now slashing an outstanding .407/.435/.695 on the season and already has nine extra-base hits (five doubles, four home runs) and 14 RBI in just 62 plate appearances.

Lee Tsung-Hsien, Guardians- Lee is an excellent fantasy producer out of the leadoff spot, and he checks in with a .308 average, 12 doubles, two triples, three home runs, 29 RBI and 18 stolen bases. The five-year veteran just lit up the Lions for 29 Dream11 points on Saturday, and he compiled 18 Dream11 points in his last game against the Brothers.

Kao Kuo-Lin, Guardians- Kao offers some strong power upside, as evidenced by a .313/.392/.553 line that also includes 26 extra-base hits (13 doubles, 13 home runs) and 38 RBI. The five-year veteran's fantasy upside has been corroborated on many occasions, with perhaps no better example than the 49 Dream11 points he posted against the Lions on Saturday. 

Chan Tzu-Hsien, Brothers- Chan continues to impress with a .349/.425/.537 slash that includes 24 extra-base hits (10 doubles, one triple, 13 home runs) and 54 RBI across 74 games. The veteran has posted tallies of 14, 32, 22, 11 and 19 Dream11 points in recent starts, offering a glimpse at his upside.
