The Guardians climbed into second place with their 9-3 victory on Wednesday, though they’re still a full six games back of the league-leading Monkeys. The Brothers, meanwhile, fell to third place after losing their third straight game. They’ll turn to 23-year-old Huang En-Sih to right the ship. His 4.76 ERA on the season looks like nothing special at first glance but it’s nearly a full run and a half better than the league-average 6.23 ERA. His 22.5 percent strikeout rate is over five points better than league average as well. Opposing him for the Guardians will be 22-year-old lefty Chen Shih-Peng. His 4.07 ERA on the season is quite strong given the league’s high offensive environment, though he’s less of a strikeout arm, posting an 18.9 percent strikeout rate through his first four starts.

Top Picks
Chen Shih-Peng, Guardians: There’s little to separate these two pitchers, a pair of young arms who are having success this season and whose price tags are within a dollar of each other. Chen was far more successful than Huang En-Sih over a larger sample last season, however, posting a 3.48 ERA compared to his counterpart’s 7.47 mark.
Wu Tung-Jung, Brothers: With the left-handed Chen on the mound for the Guardians, it’s worth prioritizing the Brothers’ right-handed bats in this contest. Wu fits that bill while coming in at a cheap nine credits. He’s hitting .348 through 15 games this season.
Chiang Chih-Hsien, Guardians: The lefty slugger looks like the best captain choice for the Guardians in this matchup. He’s hitting .350 on the season with six homers, a total that ties him for third in the league.
Lin Yi-Chuan, Guardians: Lin’s .308 batting average looks pedestrian compared to Chiang’s .350 mark but he’s tied with his teammate with six home runs. He’s been on a roll lately, recording five multi-hit games in his last seven contests.
Captaincy Options
1. Chiang Chih-Hsien
2. Lin Yi-Chuan
3. Chan Tzu-Hsien
