Uni Lions (9-8) at Rakuten Monkeys (8-8)
Wednesday, August 19, 6:35am EDT
Projected Starters
RHP Brock Dykxhoorn (1-1, 4.72 ERA) vs. RHP Elih Villanueva (1-4, 6.67 ERA)
Game Preview
The Lions come into the contest in the midst of a three-game spiral, but the Monkeys aren't in much better shape after dropping four of their last five contests. Lions starter Brock Dykxhoorn is coming off an impressive seven-inning, scoreless effort versus the Brothers and seems to be adjust well to the CPBL. Monkeys starter Elih Villanueva hasn't been anywhere near as fortunate after stellar 2019 season with the Brothers (9-3, 2.92 ERA), but he'll look to right the ship Wednesday.

Lin An-Ko, Lions- Lin is the top choice for the captain's spot in this contest, as he arrives with a .331/.414/.662 line that includes 44 extra-base hits (18 doubles, one triple, 25 home runs) and 75 RBI over 77 games.
