Game Preview
The Brothers beat the Lions 9-2 on Saturday, evening the series at one apiece. The visitors will send American righty Mitch Lively to the mound for his season debut as they look to take the rubber match. Lively never reached beyond the Triple-A level in the United States but has carved out a career in leagues around the world, including Mexico, Japan and Taiwan. Through two seasons in the CPBL, he owns a 3.62 ERA and an 18.9 percent strikeout rate. Opposing him will be 25-year-old righty Shih Tzu-Chien. Shih has looked good through four starts this season with his 4.09 ERA coming in more than two runs below the league average mark of 6.15. Perhaps most impressively, he's walked just a single batter all season.

Top Picks
Shih Tzu-Chien, Lions: As of writing, Mitch Lively isn't available for selection, so this choice has more or less already been made for us. Shih is a fine option in his own
