Cubs Lineup

For the most part, the Cubs lineup has struggled in the opening week of June. Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant have come back down to earth after raking in May. The pair are both 4-for-22 since the start of the month. Rizzo will leadoff today, in his first start atop the order this season, while Carlos Gonzalez will bat third in just his fourth game as a Cub. Hot-hitting Javier Baez will cleanup behind him.

Cole Hamels will start today's game, looking to rebound from his bad start last time out against the Rangers. He's logged a 4-2 record through 13 starts with a 3.62 ERA and 64 strikeouts in 69.2 innings pitched.

Cardinals Lineup

Marcell Ozuna is batting cleanup in today's lineup. He has been scorching hot in the month of June. Paul DeJong, who's been a sensation for the Cardinals this season, has slowed down a ton of late, culminating just 4 hits in his last 26 at-bats. He's hitting second behind Dexter Fowler and ahead of Paul Goldschmidt.

Miles Mikolas will toe the rubber for St. Louis, looking for his fifth win. He's recorded a 4.41 ERA this season and has 49 strikeouts across 69.1 innings of work.
