What It Means:

Brinson spelled Domingo Santana on Sunday, one young slugger pushes the other out of the lineup today, and it's Brinson losing the battle.

With Pittsburgh Pirates ace Gerrit Cole on the mound on Monday, the Brewers are staring down a seventh-worst implied total (4.36 runs) on the slate today. Cole has a 5.7 percent walk rate (third-lowest among starters on Monday) and a strong 1.007 ground-to-fly ball ratio going into this contest, which should help negate the power of Miller Park (1.022 park factor).
