The Braves’ lineup for the last game of the series is very typical of what we’ve seen through the first six batters. Travis d’Arnaud replaces Sean Murphy as catcher. The corner outfield positions, batting seventh and eighth, are intriguing. Eddie Rosario hits eighth, providing a lefty presence at the bottom of the lineup against a righty in Mikolas. Ramon Laureano is the headliner in eighth place, making his first appearance in the program since June 26th. Adam Duvall is benched, and these two will take the corners.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals’ lineup included the unusual sight of Paul Goldschmidt batting seventh. Donovan and Arenado both move up a spot as a result of the alteration, while the rest of the St. Louis lineup remains unchanged from yesterday.
