Fubon Guardians (18-29) at Uni Lions (23-28)
Thursday, July 2nd, 6:35 AM EDT
Projected starters
RHP Chiang Kuo-Hao (3-4, 7.30 ERA) vs LHP Chiang Chen-Yen (4-4, 7.29 ERA)
Game Preview
The Guardians do not enter this matchup in a good run of form, as their defeat on Wednesday extended their losing streak to five games. Chiang Kuo-Hao will try to rescue the team from their most recent skid, but his recent performances have not been very good – he has allowed 13 earned runs in just seven innings across his last two starts. The Lions have not fared much better despite Wednesday's win and have gone 23-28, although they are coming off three straight wins so their confidence should be quite high. Chiang Chen-Yen will get the nod for the Lions and will hope for a bounce-back performance after giving up five home runs to the Chinatrust Brothers last Thursday. He has lost each of his past two starts as well.

Top picks:
Lin An-Ko, Lions: Lin went 2-for-4 with his 18th homer of the season during Wednesday's win, and he continues to be one of the league's premier offensive threats regardless of the matchup. Despite his cost (16 credits), he is a safe bet to stack across any lineup.
Su Chih-Chieh, Lions: Su is the most expensive player in this slate at 17 credits, but he is worth the risk as he is also the leader when it comes to Dream11 fantasy points between both clubs. Su is hitting .328 this season and is coming off a 0-for-3 effort during Wednesday's contest.
Kao Kuo-Hui, Guardians: Kao only costs 9.5 credits and represents a good value pick, while also being one of the top hitters in the depleted Guardians roster. He enters this contest hitting .340, which is the best mark in the team among regular members of the lineup.
Chen Chieh-Hsien, Lions: Chen is the leadoff hitter in the Lions squad and that gives him more plate appearances than his teammates – that could be a plus if the Guardians pitching staff struggles once again. He enters this game with a .393 average despite going 0-for-4 during Wednesday's contest.
