Dream11 Fantasy CPBL: Guardians at Monkeys

This article is part of our Dream11 Fantasy CPBL series.

Fubon Guardians (14-16) at Rakuten Monkeys (19-11)

Saturday, June 6, 5:05 AM EDT

Projected Starters

RHP Henry Sosa (3-2, 4.85 ERA) vs LHP Wang Yi-Cheng (4-1, 3.97 ERA)

Game Preview

The Monkeys had been on a rare poor stretch, losing six out of eight games, before defeating the Guardians by a score of 6-5 in Friday's series opener. They still have a three-game lead atop the standings, while the Guardians sit in third place, five games back. The Guardians will send Henry Sosa to the mound as they look to close the gap. After making 12 dominant starts last season, finishing with a 1.56 ERA, he struggled significantly out of the gate this year. He's allowed just two runs in 15 total innings over his last two starts while striking out 11 and walking just one, however, so it appears as though he's getting back to his previous form. Meanwhile, the Monkeys will turn to veteran lefty Wang Yi-Cheng. He's having a strong season, posting a 3.97 ERA, his lowest mark since 2014, even as league-wide offense has soared.

Top Picks

Wang Yi-Cheng, Monkeys: It's quite tempting to select the resurgent Henry Sosa, but the Monkeys' lineup presents easily the toughest test in the league. Wang is having a fine season himself and gets to face the league's lowest-scoring lineup. He'll also save you four credits.

Lin Li, Monkeys: As usual, Lin is the Monkeys' top offensive option. He's recorded nine hits in his last four games, homering three times, scoring five runs and driving in four.

Chen Chen-Wei, Monkeys: Chen leads the league in steals with 14, four more than anyone else in the league and six more than anyone not named Lin Li. His legs and his position as the leadoff man for the league's best lineup have helped him score 30 times this season.

Hu Chin-Lung, Guardians: The former MLB player is one of the best captain options for those building a Guardians-based lineup. His home run in Friday's loss gave him six on the season, nearly halfway to his total of 13 from last season.

Captaincy Options

1. Lin Li

2. Chen Chen-Wei

3. Hu Chin-Lung
