Uni Lions (14-23) vs Rakuten Monkeys (19-13)
Wednesday, June 10th, 6:35 AM EDT
Projected starters
RHP Shih Tzu-Chien (3-3, 6.57 ERA) vs RHP Justin Nicolino (1-2, 5.59 ERA)
Game Preview
The Monkeys continue to struggle, and while they remain at the top of the standings, their margin keeps shrinking further and further. They are coming off a 6-5 loss to the Lions during the series opener and have now gone 1-4 in their last five contests. The Lions, on the other hand, remain at the bottom of the table but managed to end a four-game losing skid with Wednesday's win. The Lions will now try to make it back-to-back wins by sending Shih Tzu-Chien to the mound, while the Monkeys will counter with Justin Nicolino. The Monkeys will need a win if they're to hold onto their first-place ranking, as they sit just one game above the Brothers ahead of Wednesday's slate.

Top picks:
Lin An-Ko, Lions: Lin is one of the most expensive players in the entire slate and is a good bet to start a Lions-based squad, although it's hard to pair him up with some of the Monkeys' star hitters due to budget constraints. He is a good bet as any to make an impact, though, as he enters this game with a .352 average after going 2-for-4 on Tuesday.
Lin Li, Monkeys: Lin Li continues to thrive despite the fact the Monkeys keep slumping in the standings. The star third baseman had another productive game Tuesday, going 3-for-3 with two runs scored, keeping his batting average above .400. He leads the league in that category with a remarkable .409 mark.
Chen Chieh-Hsien, Lions: Chen is coming off a 2-for-5 performance Tuesday and continues to create havoc at the top of the Lions' lineup. His ability to get on base could spark the Lions in their quest for a second straight win against the league leaders. The center fielder enters this matchup with a .397 average and a .463 on-base percentage.
Wu Chieh-Jui, Lions: Jui has settled into the second spot of the Lions' order, hitting between Chen and Lin An-Ko. He owns a .367 average after going 2-for-5 in the series opener and should fit into most lineups since only costs 7.5 credits.
Captaincy Options:
1. Lin An-Ko
2. Lin Li
