Dream11 Fantasy CPBL: Guardians at Lions

This article is part of our Dream11 Fantasy CPBL series.

Fubon Guardians (2-1) at Uni Lions (2-1)

Wednesday, July 29th, 6:35 AM EDT

Projected Starters

LHP Chen Shih-Peng (4-6, 6.47 ERA) vs RHP Shih Tzu-Chien (5-4, 6.94 ERA)

Game Preview

Both teams enter this matchup with a 2-1 record in the second half of the campaign. However, if we analyze the team's performances during the entire calendar year, then the Lions have a clear edge – they are 28-35, while the Guardians have posted a 25-38 mark. The pitching matchup will feature two local arms, as the Guardians will go with lefty Chen Shih-Peng, while the Lions will counter with right-hander Shih Tzu-Chien. Both have ERAs above the 6.00 mark, so it's hard to trust either hurler ahead of this contest. All signs point towards this game being decided by the offenses and, in that department, the Lions have a sizable edge over the Guardians.

Top Picks

Lin An-Ko, Lions: Lin went 1-for-4 in his previous game, and he is hitting for .340 this season. The slugging outfielder is one of the most productive players in the Lions roster and has hit 20 home runs this season.

Wu Chieh-Jui, Lions: The talented first baseman in the eighth-best infielder in this slate when sorting through points, but he is the cheapest alternative among that group at only 9.5 credits. He backs that up with decent numbers, as he is hitting .363 with 23 RBI and a .445 on-base percentage this season.

Shen Hao-Wei, Guardians: Shen ranks as the sixth-best outfielder in this slate despite his low cost (nine credits). He went 2-for-4 in his last game and is hitting a decent .283 this season.

Shih Tzu-Chien, Lions: Shih continues to struggle this season and has pitched to the tune of a 6.94 ERA and a 1.68 WHIP – both career-worst marks by a wide margin. He has been trending in the wrong direction since the end of the 2019 CPBL season, but he could be in line for a bounce-back performance against the Guardians, one of the weakest offenses in the CPBL according to most metrics.
