Fubon Guardians (5-9) at Uni-President Lions (7-8)
Saturday, May 3, 5:05 AM EDT
Projected Starters
RHP Yu Ting-Wei (1-0, 1.50 ERA) vs RHP Shih Tzu-Chien (2-0, 4.76 ERA)
Game Preview
After losing by nine runs in the first game of the series, the Guardians broke their three-game losing streak with a nine-run win of their own Saturday. A pair of young local arms will take the hill for the deciding match of the series Sunday. The Brothers will turn to 22-year-old Yu Ting-Wei. The second-year pitcher posted a respectable 4.47 ERA in 44.1 innings as a rookie last season and held the Brothers to one run in six innings in his only start thus far this year. His counterpart will be 25-year-old Shih Tzu-Chien. He struggled to a 6.42 ERA last season but was won both of his outings this campaign. He hasn't walked a batter in his 11.1 innings this year, though he's only struck out seven.

Top Picks
Lin An-Ko, Lions: You know a player is on a hot streak when a game in which he drives in a run and reaches base twice counts as a disappointment. That's what happened for Lin on Saturday, as he ended his four-game home-run streak but extended his hitting streak to eight while grabbing his 19th RBI of the year, placing him one behind league leader Chu Yu-Hsien of the Monkeys.
Kao Kuo-Lin, Guardians: A five-hit game Saturday raised Kao's batting average by over 100 points to .382. He's quite a productive player for his 8.5-credit price tag, a number which makes him the second-cheapest outfielder in the contest.
Su Chih-Chieh, Lions: The slugging left fielder struggled along with the rest of the Lions' offense Saturday but remains a strong option. His four home runs on the season tie him for third in the league.
Chen Chieh-Hsien, Lions: Chen sets the table for a Lions offense that had been on fire prior to Saturday's two-run dud. He's scored 15 times in 15 games this season, with 14 of those runs coming in his last eight games.
