Chinatrust Brothers (10-12) at Uni-President Lions (9-14)
Friday, May 15, 6:35 AM EDT
Projected Starters
LHP Ariel Miranda (3-0, 1.97 ERA) vs LHP Ryan Feierabend (0-2, 5.54 ERA)
Game Preview
Both teams enter the weekend series having split a two-game series earlier in the week, with the Brothers taking one of two from the Guardians and the Lions stealing one game from the league-leading Monkeys. Friday's matchup will see a pair of foreign lefties take the mound. Brothers ace Ariel Miranda has been everything the team could have hoped for through his first five starts, never allowing more than three runs in a game while recording a 1.97 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. The Lions' Ryan Feierabend has been nowhere near as successful, recording a 5.54 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP through his first five starts, though both those numbers are actually better than average in a CPBL season where offense has exploded in the early going.

Top Picks
Ariel Miranda, Brothers: Miranda carries a hefty price tag, coming in at 18.5 credits, but it's hard to say he's not worth it. He's simply on another level compared to the rest of the CPBL's pitchers, as his ERA is a full 4.26 runs below the league-average 6.23 mark.
Wu Tung-Jung, Brothers: As a right-handed bat who's been hitting second in the Brothers' lineup, Wu and his cheap nine-credit price tag are a key inclusion in this contest, especially for those looking to fit in the expensive Miranda. Wu would be a solid option even in less advantageous circumstances, as he's hit an impressive .373 through 16 games.
Chan Tzu-Hsien, Brothers: A right-handed cleanup hitter, Chan makes for a strong vice captain with a left-hander on the mound for the opposition. Chan has scored 14 runs and driven in 14 more in 22 games this season.
Chen Chia-Chu, Brothers: Going cheap at catcher will help fit Miranda into the lineup, so there's reason to save 3.5 credits by picking Chen over the Lions' more established option Chen Chung-Yu here. Chen Chia-Chu doesn't have much of a resume, but he's started two games in a row, grabbing five hits.
