Miami Marlins vs Milwaukee Brewers Starting Lineup — Friday, Jul 17, 2026

Miami has no established MLB history against Logan Henderson. Liam Hicks, Otto Lopez, Xavier Edwards, Kyle Stowers, Heriberto Hernández, Griffin Conine, Jakob Marsee, Joe Mack, and Javier Sanoja all have no MLB history vs that pitcher. That leaves the Marlins with a lineup almost entirely seeing Henderson for the first time.

Milwaukee brings much more familiarity against Sandy Alcantara, with a few hitters showing strong results. Garrett Mitchell is 2-for-3 with a 1.667 OPS, Christian Yelich is 1-for-2 in 3 PA with a 1.167 OPS, and Joey Ortiz is 1-for-2 in 4 PA with a 1.250 OPS. William Contreras has the largest sample but is just 1-for-11 in 12 PA with a .349 OPS, while Sal Frelick is 1-for-5 in 6 PA with a .367 OPS.

There are also several Brewers who have been held hitless by Alcantara. Jackson Chourio is 0-for-2 in 3 PA with a .333 OPS, Brice Turang is 0-for-3 with a .000 OPS, and Jake Bauers is 0-for-4 in 5 PA with a .000 OPS. Cooper Pratt has no MLB history vs that pitcher.

The clear familiarity edge belongs to Milwaukee, which has multiple hitters with prior looks at Alcantara and a few productive matchups. Miami, by contrast, is going in with a full lineup of first-time meetings against Henderson.
