Fubon Guardians (14-15) at Rakuten Monkeys (18-11)
Friday, June 5, 6:35 AM EDT
Projected starters
RHP Bryan Woodall (2-3, 7.36 ERA) vs RHP Lisalverto Bonilla (3-1, 3.66 ERA)
Game Preview
The Monkeys are coming off back-to-back losses against the Brothers and have dropped three of their last four games, but they remain at the top of the standings with a 18-11 record. Meanwhile, the Guardians are just one game under .500 (14-15) after going 3-2 in their last five contests. Lisalverto Bonilla will get the ball for the Monkeys, while Bryan Woodall receives another starting nod for the Guardians. It's perhaps surprising that Woodall remains in the rotation despite his very poor 7.36 ERA, though he'll be needed until Ryan Bollinger returns from a foot injury. As for the Monkeys, Bonilla seems like the perfect guy to turn things around after the team's sloppy start to the week. The Dominican Republic native is coming off seven scoreless innings in his previous outing.

Top picks:
Lin Li, Monkeys: Lin continues to be one of the top hitters in the league and all signs point towards him having a great day against one of the pitchers that has struggled the most this season. Li enters this matchup with a career-best .388 average to go along with eight home runs, 31 RBI and an impressive .661 slugging percentage.
Chen Chen-Wei, Monkeys: Chen sits at the top of the Monkeys lineup, providing his team with a solid .345 on-base percentage. He only has 17 RBI, but he's on track to post career-best numbers in several offensive categories.
Lisalverto Bonilla, Monkeys: Bonilla has become the ace of this team and is worth the investment even at the relatively high price of 10.5 credits. He tossed seven scoreless innings against the Lions in his previous start.
Hu Chin-Lung, Guardians: Hu could be a strong alternative for users who want to build a lineup based on the Guardians, as risky as that sounds. He went 2-for-4 during Thursday contest and is now hitting an impressive .327 with five home runs and 23 RBI.
Captaincy Options:
