Atlanta Braves vs St. Louis Cardinals Starting Lineup — Saturday, Jul 11, 2026

Atlanta has seen Matthew Liberatore quite a bit, with several hitters carrying at least some success. Michael Harris II is 1-for-5 in 7 PA with an .829 OPS, Matt Olson is 1-for-2, Drake Baldwin is 2-for-5 with a .400 average and .800 OPS, and Jorge Mateo is 1-for-2. Ozzie Albies has been hitless, going 0-for-6 in 8 PA with a .125 OPS, while Joey Bart is 1-for-7 in 8 PA despite a solid .821 OPS. Mauricio Dubón and Austin Riley are each 0-for-1 in 2 PA with a .500 OPS, and Eli White is 0-for-2 with a .000 OPS.

St. Louis has less impactful history overall against Reynaldo López, though a couple of bats have connected. Iván Herrera is 1-for-3 with a 1.000 OPS, and Jordan Walker is 1-for-2 with a 1.000 OPS. JJ Wetherholt has gone 0-for-1 in 2 PA with a .500 OPS, while Alec Burleson is 0-for-4 in 5 PA with a .000 OPS and Masyn Winn is 0-for-4 in 5 PA with a .200 OPS. Lars Nootbaar, Blaze Jordan, and Nathan Church are each 0-for-2 with a .000 OPS, and Bryan Torres has no MLB history vs that pitcher.

The Braves appear to have the deeper bank of prior exposure against the opposing starter, with more hitters owning multiple plate appearances and a few productive lines. The Cardinals have some familiarity too, but far more of it has been limited or hitless.
