Uni Lions (10-8) at Rakuten Monkeys (8-9)
Thursday, August 20, 6:35am EDT
Projected Starters
RHP Pan Wei-Lun (2-3, 8.07 ERA) vs. RHP Lisalverto Bonilla (8-3, 4.46 ERA)
Game Preview
The Lions were able to successfully snap a three-game losing streak Wednesday with an 8-4 win over the Monkeys, which have now lost two in a row. However, Uni may be challenged to make it back-to-back wins, as starter Pan Wei-Lun has had a difficult time of it this season. Monkeys starter Lisalverto Bonilla has been much better, although he is coming off a 130-pitch outing his last time out against the Brothers last Friday.

Top Picks/Captaincy Options
Lin Li, Monkeys- There isn't much that can be said about Li that hasn't been uttered already. He's simply one of the elite all-around players in the CPBL, as he reminded everyone of when he slugged his 21st homer of the season Wednesday. Li now boasts a .368/.424/.667 line that also includes 14 doubles, four triples, 12 stolen bases and 68 runs.
Chen Chun-Hsiu, Monkeys- Chen is a strong vice captaincy option next to a lineup with Lin Li as captain. Chen comes in with an impressive .322/.380/.498 line with 23 extra-base hits (13 doubles, one triple, nine home runs)

Chen Chun-Hsiu, Monkeys- Chen is a strong vice captaincy option next to a lineup with Lin Li as captain. Chen comes in with an impressive .322/.380/.498 line with 23 extra-base hits (13 doubles, one triple, nine home runs) and 39 RBI, and he checks in with a reasonable salary of 13.5 credits.
Liao Chien-Fu, Monkeys- Liao is an excellent vice-captain pivot off Chen, as he also offers plenty of upside. The catcher is slashing .356/.418/.599 with 35 extra-base hits (25 doubles, one triple and nine home runs) and 40 RBI. What makes Liao all the more appealing is how reliable a contact hitter he is – he's struck out just 19 times in 252 plate appearances.
Lan Yin-Lun, Monkeys- Lan has contributed a .316/.389/.538 line with 17 doubles, six home runs, four steals, 27 RBI and 35 runs over 48 games. His salary of 14.5 credits makes him the most expense Monkeys outfielder Thursday, but he's coming into the contest with totals of 14, 8 and 8 Dream11 points in his last three games.
