Game Preview

The race to win the first half of the 2020 CPBL season might not be a race anymore given what has happened over the last few days, as the Brothers have opened up a sizable gap at the top of the standings. They are now 33-20, while the Monkeys sit in a distant second place at just 28-23. Much of that has been related to what has happened in recent days, with the Brothers going 4-1 and the Monkeys falling to 2-3 over their last five contests. In fact, the Brothers enter this matchup on a four-game winning streak. Jose de Paula and Lisalverto Bonilla will meet once again. These two hurlers already faced each other last week (July 1) and de Paula came away as the winning pitcher after tossing seven scoreless innings. Meanwhile, Bonilla gave up nine runs (eight earned) across just five frames in that game.

Top Picks

Hsu Chi-Hung, Brothers: Hsu might have gone 1-for-5 last Sunday but he is a strong bet to keep producing against the Monkeys. He is hitting .313 this season and arrives into this matchup riding a six-game hitting streak.

Lin Li, Monkeys: Li has been the top scoring player in the CPBL during the current season when it comes to the Dream11 format so he is a good bet to remain in most lineups even if he comes with a hefty price tag (17.5 credits). He has been the lone player who has hovered around the .400 batting average all season long.

Jose de Paula, Brothers: It's hard to trust a pitcher as captain in the CPBL given the hitter-friendly environment of the league, but de Paula has been overly dominant over the last few months and it's no reason to believe his streak will end here despite facing the Monkeys. He tossed seven scoreless innings against them last week.

Chou Szu-Chi, Brothers: Chou has been one of the most consistent players for the Brothers but also comes with great value attached to his name, as he is one of the best picks in the slate when it comes to cost / production. He is hitting .346 with seven homers in 2020.
