Brewers Lineup

The top of the Brewers lineup is one of the best in baseball right now, lead by reigning NL MVP Christian Yelich. The success of Yelich and rookie second baseman Keston Hiura has not gone unnoticed. One player whose recent success has not received its warranted attention is Ryan Braun. In 19 games in August, Braun is slashing .390/.439/.661 with three homers and eight RBI. He's hitting sixth in the order.

Gio Gonzalez (2-1 3.64 ERA) gets the start on Monday. In his last start, the lefty tossed five innings of one-run ball and struck out six. However, he walked six in that game and has surrendered 11 free passes in his last two starts combined. He'll need to limit the walks against a tough Cards' lineup.

Cardinals Lineup

Paul Goldschmidt and Marcell Ozuna are finally producing to the level in which the Cardinals envisioned when they dealt for the powerful bats in separate trades. Goldschmidt has 23 RBI in his last 30 games while Ozuna carries a 1.243 OPS in his last seven games. They'll bat third and fourth respectively.

Adam Wainwright (9-9 4.51 ERA) will look to utilize his big-game history and shut down Milwaukee's lineup. Across his past five starts, Wainwright has a 4.08 ERA with 28 strikeouts in 28.2 innings of work. He's 2-2 in that span, though has struggled to limit walks, allowing 13 free passes with a WHIP of 1.570.
