The 2020 Chinese Professional Baseball League has made its way to Dream11 and after a baseball debut today, we have some more action from this tournament. Here, we’re bringing you a game where the defending champions Rakuten Monkeys will be in action. They’ve been nothing short of amazing this season too, with 5 consecutive victories to kick off proceedings in the 2020 CPBL tournament.

They now play Chinatrust Brothers who have only 2 wins in 6 games, currently 3rd on the points table. In terms of runs scored this season, they’ve the lowest on the table so they are the clear underdogs in today’s game as well. Read our RM vs CTB fantasy preview.

Rakuten Monkeys

At 34 years old, Taiwanese outfielder Chen Chen-Wei is the most expensive player in this Monkeys outfit and why not?! He’s got experience of playing for multiple teams in the MLB in Unites States of America. Their most expensive pitcher for this game is Wang Yi-Cheng but with the rule of changing your pitcher every second game, it’s better we recheck this player before the game begins.

Having picked a few expensive players, we need some cheaper ones too and I see good value in outfielder Cheng Chin for today’s RM vs CTB game, but we will need to monitor a few games to check out possible team combinations. Since we’ve exhausted our credits on other players, let’s use a cheaper infielder in Chen Chun-Hsiu and make sure you pick a 5-4 fantasy team in favour of the favourites, Rakuten Monkeys.

Chinatrust Brothers

We read reports that 32-year old out-fielder Chang Chih-Hao is one of the best in the league and considering he’s a very cheap pick, he could give us plenty of value for today’s game, so I’m including him in my Nostragamus (sign-up with “READSCOOPS” for Rs.100 FREE) fantasy team. He’s nearing 1,000 career runs.

Along with him, Lin Chi-Sheng is also nearing the 1000-run milestone, currently at 986 and he’ll want to get closer to that milestone in this game today. Since you can only pick on pitcher and one catcher for your baseball teams, go for a Chinatrust Brothers catcher and if our research is right, it will be Huang Chun-Sheng behind the helmet and the batter today.
