Ted Lilly is coming off of a shoulder injury and is making his first appearance of the season. He has been pitching well for the Cubs since signing prior to the 2007 season, posting FIPs of 4.16, 4.41, and 3.65 in the past three seasons. He's a two time all-star, including last year when he posted a 1.06 WHIP. Five current Brewers have ten or more plate appearances. I bolded Ryan Brauns slugging vs. Lilly because that is insane.

2B Rickie Weeks

LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
3B Casey McGehee
