Projected starters
LHP Justin Nicolino (1-1, 5.16 ERA) vs RHP Huang En-Sih (2-0, 4.45 ERA)
Game Preview
Justin Nicolino will attempt to rescue the Monkeys from their slump, as they have won just two out of their last five games after dropping the series opener. The American lefty is coming off a strong performance, having given up just one run in six innings during his previous outing. The Brothers, on the other hand, finally moved to .500 following Tuesday's win and now will aim to take another step towards the top of the standings. They'll send Huang En-Sih to the mound. He's coming off a poor outing in his last start, as he gave up seven runs in 4.1 innings, though only two of those runs were earned.

Top picks
Lin Li, Monkeys: Li homered twice and went 3-for-5 during Tuesday's loss, increasing his home run total to eight while moving his average quite close to the .400 mark. Without a doubt, he is one of the top offensive threats in the league and nearly always deserves captain consideration.
Chen Chen-Wei, Monkeys: Chen benefits from hitting at the top of the Monkeys lineup and scored a run despite going 0-for-4 during Tuesday's contest. He contributes by getting on base at a stellar clip and continues to hit for average, hitting for .305 entering Wednesday's matchup.
Wang Wei-Chen, Brothers: Wang is one of the most expensive players in the slate, but he's worth his price tag. He's hit .390 this season and scored a pair of runs in Tuesday's win.
Chou Szu-Chi, Brothers: Zhou was one of the big reasons why the Brothers came away with the win Tuesday, as he went 3-for-4 with two RBI and three runs scored. He is hitting just .255 on the season but appears to be trending in the right direction.
