Projected Starters
RHP Huang En-Sih (7-0, 3.53 ERA) vs RHP Josh Roenicke (3-4, 6.35 ERA)
Game Preview
The stats are empty for the second half of the season and every single team starts in equal conditions, but that shouldn't hide the fact that the Brothers are clear favorites ahead of this matchup against the Lions. The Brothers won the first half of the season rather comfortably, while the Lions are in a clear rebuilding mode and do not have neither the offense nor the pitching to compete with the Brothers. The pitching matchup also favors Chinatrust in this one, as Huang En-Sih will go against Josh Roenicke. Huang lead the CPBL in the ERA department during the first half of the season with a strong 3.53 record, as well as winning seven of his outings and losing none. Meanwhile, Roenicke posted a 6.35 ERA – less than ideal numbers for the only foreign arm in the staff.

Top Picks
Chang Chih-Hao, Brothers: Chang was one of the most complete hitters in the first half of the 2020 CPBL season, and he is expected to be the undisputed leader of the offense once again. He should be targeted as a core piece in most lineups.
Huang En-Sih, Brothers: It's not common to place a pitcher with a captaincy role in the CPBL, but that's how good Huang has been this season. He leads the league in ERA and should feast against the Lions' inconsistent bats. There hasn't been such a strong local starter in the league in quite a while.
Lin An-Ko, Lions: Lin should be treated as the Lions' most reliable source for offense ahead of this game, and he was among the league leaders in home runs during the first half of the 2020 campaign with 20. He also hit .348 with an excellent .428 on-base percentage.
Hsu Chi-Hung, Brothers: Hsu finished the first half of the 2020 season with 11 home runs and 38 RBI, to go along with an excellent .316 average and a .379 on-base percentage. That's excellent production for a relatively low-cost player.
