Projected Starters

Game Preview
The Monkeys dropped an 8-1 decision to the Brothers on Wednesday, but they're still the hottest team in the CPBL with four wins in their last five games. They come in with a good starting pitching matchup as well, as Brandon Mann, who recorded eight strikeouts in a four-inning start in the minors recently and put together an impressive 3.94 ERA and recorded 20 strikeouts over 16 innings pitched for the Chiba Lotte Marines in Nippon Professional Baseball last season. In contrast, Reyes had a 10.32 ERA in the minors and had a difficult time at the Triple-A level in MiLB last season with a 4.82 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 1.6 HR/9.
