Dream11 Fantasy CPBL: Guardians at Monkeys

This article is part of our Dream11 Fantasy CPBL series.

Fubon Guardians (15-16) at Rakuten Monkeys (19-12)

Sunday, June 7, 5:05 AM EDT

Projected Starters

LHP Chen Shih-Peng (2-2, 5.53 ERA) vs LHP Ryan Carpenter (2-1, 4.22 ERA)

Game Preview

The Guardians took the second game of the series by a score of 9-6 on Saturday, pulling within four games of the league-leading Monkeys, who now lead the second-place Brothers by just two games. The visitors will send lefty Chen Shih-Peng to the mound for the rubber match. His 5.53 ERA on the season is better than it looks, given the league's offensive explosion, though he hasn't pitched since May 14, as a long run of rainouts in late May meant the Guardians haven't needed to use their full pitching staff. The Monkeys will turn to American lefty Ryan Carpenter, who's cruised to a 4.22 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP through his first seven starts in Taiwan, both numbers which are far better than league average given the offensive environment in the CPBL this season.

Top Picks

Ryan Carpenter, Monkeys: Both pitchers cost the same, but Carpenter has been better this season and doesn't have to face the Monkeys. He'll face a Guardians lineup which has scored 5.9 runs per game, while Chen Shih-Peng has to face a Monkeys team that has scored 7.6 runs per game.

Lin Li, Monkeys: Frequent readers of this series should know Lin's name by now, as he's nearly always one of the top captaincy recommendations for the Monkeys. He's hitting .395 with nine homers and 10 steals so far this season, scoring 35 times and driving in 32 runs in 30 games.

Lin Hung-Yu, Monkeys: The veteran missed most of the month of May, but he returned to action earlier this week, grabbing six hits in four games. The cleanup hitter owns an excellent .404 batting average in 22 games this season.

Lee Tsung-Hsien, Guardians: Lee is worth a look if he continues to bat second in the order, as he did in Saturday's win. His biggest asset is his speed, as he's stolen seven bases this season.
