Houston Astros vs Washington Nationals Starting Lineup — Monday, Jul 6, 2026
Final Lineups
Houston Astros @ Washington Nationals · Monday, Jul 6, 2026
Houston’s lineup has no MLB history against Miles Mikolas. Jose Altuve, Yordan Alvarez, Isaac Paredes, Christian Walker, LaMonte Wade Jr., Cam Smith, Yainer Diaz, Braden Shewmake, and Brice Matthews have not faced him in a major league plate appearance. That leaves the Astros with a completely unfamiliar look against Mikolas entering this matchup.
Washington’s lineup is in the same spot against Mike Burrows, with no MLB history across the board. James Wood, Luis García Jr., Curtis Mead, CJ Abrams, Dylan Crews, Daylen Lile, Jacob Young, Drew Millas, and Nasim Nuñez have no major league plate appearances against Burrows. There are no established batter-versus-pitcher trends to lean on for the Nationals here.
Takeaway: neither side brings any familiarity into this matchup, as both lineups are entirely without MLB history against the opposing starter. This is a clean slate for both offenses.
