Game Preview

The Brothers entered this series as one of the hottest teams in the CPBL, riding a four-game winning streak, but that came to an end following Tuesday's defeat against the Monkeys in the series opener. The Brothers still hold onto a one-game lead, but another victory by the Monkeys in this one would bring them level atop the standings. This highly-important match could also be a thrilling pitching duel, with two of the best foreign arms in the CPBL going head to head. The Brothers will start Jose De Paula, who has been on fire of late and enters this matchup on a run of five straight wins. The Monkeys will counter with Lisalverto Bonilla, who owns one of the lowest ERAs in the league at just 3.29.

Top Picks

Lin Li, Monkeys: Li only grabbed one hit in Tuesday's game and saw his average remain below the .400 mark, though it's not as if there's anything to complain about for a player hitting .390. He's been one of the league's best hitters all season, recording 13 home runs and 41 RBI.

Chang Chih-Hao, Brothers: Chang went hitless Tuesday and might be in a bit of a drought, but that doesn't change the fact that he's been the Brothers' best hitter all season. He has 14 home runs and 51 RBI this season and is on pace to post career-best numbers in several offensive categories.

Liao Chien-Fu, Monkeys: Liao has been one of the best catchers in the CPBL this season and is coming off a 2-for-3 performance Tuesday, a game in which he hit his sixth home run of the season. He provides rare offensive value at a typically defense-first position.

Hsu Chi-Hung, Brothers: Hsu has enjoyed a fine season in 2020, though he's particularly interesting here because he costs just 6.5 credits, making him one of the best value picks in this slate. He'd be a fine play even with a far more expensive price tag, as he's hitting .310 with seven homers on the year.
