Atlanta Braves vs Pittsburgh Pirates Starting Lineup — Tuesday, Jul 7, 2026
Final Lineups
Atlanta Braves @ Pittsburgh Pirates · Tuesday, Jul 7, 2026
Michael Harris II, Ozzie Albies, Matt Olson, Drake Baldwin, Mauricio Dubón, Dominic Smith, Austin Riley, Mike Yastrzemski, and Jim Jarvis all have no MLB history against Paul Skenes. That leaves Atlanta with a lineup full of first-time looks versus the Pittsburgh right-hander and no batter-vs-pitcher track record to lean on here.
Jake Mangum, Brandon Lowe, Bryan Reynolds, Esmerlyn Valdez, Ryan O'Hearn, Nick Gonzales, Tyler Callihan, Jared Triolo, and Henry Davis all have no MLB history against Hurston Waldrep. Pittsburgh is in the same spot, with every listed hitter set for an initial major league matchup against the Atlanta right-hander.
Neither side brings any familiarity into this matchup. Both lineups are entirely without prior MLB plate appearances against the opposing starter, so there is no batter-vs-pitcher edge based on history.
