Atlanta has a 2-1 series record in the NLDS after taking a 2-1 lead, but most recently got eliminated by San Francisco in 2002 in this scenario. This 2-1 advantage in the 2002 series versus the Giants was the Braves' most recent lead in any playoff series. St. Louis has come back from a 1-2 deficit twice in the NLDS, against the Phillies in 2011 and the Pirates in 2013.

The Braves held the Cardinals to one run across Games 2 and 3. The last time an Atlanta team let up one run over a span of two postseason games was in 1996 in wins over the Yankees in Games 1 and 2 of the World Series, with John Smoltz and Greg Maddux making the start in each game, respectively.

The Cardinals have gone 0-for-their-last-9 with runners in scoring position, striking out in five of those nine at-bats. St. Louis batted .250 with RISP during the regular season, third lowest in the NL.

Dansby Swanson delivered a game-winning double in the top of the ninth inning of Atlanta's Game 3 win -- it was the second playoff win in franchise history after being down to the final out (also Game 7 of the 1992 NLCS vs. Pit). Swanson has gone 2-for-5 with two RBI with runners in scoring position in the postseason after batting .187 in such situations in the regular season, third worst in MLB (min. 100 PA).

St. Louis' starting pitchers have allowed four runs in 19.2 innings (1.83 ERA), while its bullpen has allowed eight runs (seven earned) in 6.1 innings (9.95 ERA). Paul Goldschmidt and Marcell Ozuna (3 & 4 hitters) have combined to post a 1.212 OPS while all other lineup spots have combined for a .471 mark.

Dallas Keuchel will make his second start of this postseason after going 4.2 inning and allowing one run in Atlanta's Game 1 loss. It was only the second time his team lost in the playoffs when he allows two or fewer earned runs (5-2 overall). Dakota Hudson led all rookies in wins (16) in 2019 and tied Clayton Kershaw for the third most in the NL. He had a 2.75 ERA at home compared to a 4.13 mark on the road.

HP - Wolf, 1B - Hallion, 2B - Hickox, 3B - Hoberg, LF - Porter, RF - Holbrook

After holding the Cardinals to one run in their last two games combined, the Atlanta Braves will try to close out this National League Division Series on Monday afternoon at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
The Braves rallied for a 3-1 road victory Sunday afternoon to gain a 2-1 edge in the best-of-five series.

Season on line vs. Braves, Cards turn to Hudson

ST. LOUIS (AP)  They all knew. Every single one of them. Paul Goldschmidt and all the St. Louis Cardinals. Ozzie Albies and the rest of the Atlanta Braves.
Tough to beat Yadier Molina in a big postseason spot.
