Dream11 Fantasy CPBL: Lions at Brothers

Dream11 Fantasy CPBL: Lions at Brothers

This article is part of our Dream11 Fantasy CPBL series.

Uni Lions (13-22) at Chinatrust Brothers (18-15)

Date, 5:05 AM EDT

Projected starters

LHP Logan Darnell (0-0, 10.38 ERA) vs LHP Ariel Miranda (3-3, 2.86 ERA)

Game Preview

The Brothers are the hottest team in the league right now, as they've won each of their last four games to crawl within two games of the league-leading Monkeys. The Lions, on the other hand, remain stuck at the bottom of the standings with a 13-22 record after losing three straight and five of their last seven. Sunday's game will be a duel between two southpaws, though the two pitchers have been riding contrasting runs of form. While Logan Darnell has delivered a 10.38 ERA in two starts and one relief appearance this year, Ariel Miranda has a strong claim to be called the top pitcher in the league right now. Darnell has allowed 22 hits in only 8.2 innings this season, while Miranda has already tossed six quality starts. To post a 2.86 ERA in a year in which the league-average ERA has soared to above 6.00 is very impressive.

Top picks:

Chan Tzu-Hsien, Brothers: Chan costs 13.5 credits, but he could end up being an absolute bargain if he keeps hitting like he's done in recent days. He's coming off a 4-for-4 performance with five RBI and three runs scored Saturday, an effort which boosted his average to .355 on the season. He's also homered six times.

Ariel Miranda, Brothers: Miranda has been the league's best pitcher this season, registering six quality starts and posting an impressive 2.86 ERA. He's expensive at 14.5 credits, but he is worth that high price against the team with the worst record in the league.

Lin An-Ko, Lions: Lin is one of the best hitters in the league and while forming a Lions-based lineup is not the best strategy for this contest, he's worth a spot in any lineup due to his quality at the plate. He went a modest 1-for-3 Saturday, but he still owns a solid .317 batting average.

Wang Wei-Chen, Brothers: Wang continues to get on base at a stellar clip and will remain very useful as long as he keeps that up. He reached base just once Saturday with a walk, but that still allowed him to score a run. He is hitting a career-best .359 in 2020.

Captaincy Options:

1. Chan Tzu-Hsien

2. Ariel Miranda

3. Lin An-Ko
