Milwaukee Brewers vs St. Louis Cardinals Starting Lineup — Monday, Jul 6, 2026
Final Lineups
Milwaukee Brewers @ St. Louis Cardinals · Monday, Jul 6, 2026
Milwaukee’s lineup is stepping in almost entirely fresh against Dustin May. Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang, William Contreras, Jake Bauers, Garrett Mitchell, Sal Frelick, Cooper Pratt, and David Hamilton all have no MLB history vs May. That leaves the Brewers with no established batter-vs-pitcher track record to lean on in this matchup.
St. Louis is in the same spot against Shane Drohan. JJ Wetherholt, Iván Herrera, Jordan Walker, Nelson Velázquez, José Fermín, Masyn Winn, Nathan Church, Blaze Jordan, and Pedro Pagés all have no MLB history vs Drohan. Like Milwaukee, the Cardinals will be seeing this starter without any prior major league matchup data across the projected lineup.
The takeaway is that neither side brings any familiarity into these batter-pitcher matchups. Both lineups are essentially starting from scratch, so there is no experience edge based on MLB history against the opposing starter.
