Ben Zobrist finished the month of August with a .792 OPS and 110 wRC+, most of it coming from the left side of plate. He’ll be there this afternoon as he leads off and plays second base. Kyle Schwarber has rediscovered his power stroke and the ability to hit to left field, which is where he’ll be playing today.
Kris Bryant (1.045 OPS) and Anthony Rizzo (1.060) have long been the dual driving forces of this offense and something tells me their August performance is going to continue through September. In fact, I’m sensing a big power surge for KB in particular.
