Fubon Guardians (22-32) at Chinatrust Brothers (34-22)
Saturday, July 11th, 5:05 AM EDT
Projected Starters
LHP Chen Shih-Peng (4-4, 6.00 ERA) vs RHP Huang En-Sih (6-0, 3.29 ERA)
Game Preview
The Chinatrust Brothers are coming off a loss Friday against the Guardians since they couldn't solve Henry Sosa, who threw a complete game. However, the Brothers remain firmly entrenched at the top of the standings and it's only a matter of time before they win the title of the first half of the season. They own a 34-22 record despite suffering back-to-back losses, while the Guardians are dead last with a 22-32 record -- although have gone 3-2 in their last five contests. The pitching matchup will feature two of the best local arms in the CPBL, as Chen Shih-Peng will go up against Huang En-Sih. The righty from the Brothers has better numbers all around, and his 3.29 ERA stands out considering the hitter environment of the league. That said, Chen is a lefty who's more than capable of creating havoc in any lineup. He will endure a tough test against the Brothers.

Top Picks
Chang Chih-Hao, Brothers: Chang might be the most expensive player in this slate at 17.5 credits, but he is more than worth every single one of those. He is the best offensive player in the slate and should be a must-add element in most lineups.
Chou Szu-Chi, Brothers: Chou must be the best value pick in this contest, as he ranks as the third-best outfielder but only costs 8.5 credits. He is currently hitting .338 after going 1-for-4 with a run scored Friday.
Huang En-Sih, Brothers: Huang has been one of the most consistent pitchers in the CPBL this season and is coming off a strong first half of the campaign, posting a stellar 3.92 ERA – which is very good for the league's standards – and a 6-0 record. He represents a solid matchup considering the Guardians are the league's worst hitting team by a sizable margin.
Dai Pei-Feng, Guardians: The catcher crop is quite thin in the CPBL, but Dai represents one of the best options available. He costs 11.5 credits and ranks as the most expensive player at the position, but he is worth the risk. He also ranks as the most productive catcher in this slate by a sizable margin.
