New York Mets vs Atlanta Braves Starting Lineup — Sunday, Jul 5, 2026

Francisco Lindor has the deepest track record against Martín Pérez, going 8-for-19 in 24 PA with a .421 average and 1.016 OPS. Juan Soto is 4-for-10 in 11 PA with a .400 average and 1.155 OPS, while Bo Bichette has been even better at 5-for-10 in 11 PA with a .500 average and 1.245 OPS. Tyrone Taylor is 2-for-3 in 4 PA with a .667 average and 1.417 OPS, and Brett Baty is 1-for-2 in 3 PA with a .500 average and 1.167 OPS. Mark Vientos is 1-for-6 with a .167 average and .334 OPS, Carson Benge is hitless at 0-for-2 in 3 PA with a .333 OPS, Luis Torrens is hitless at 0-for-6 in 7 PA with a .143 OPS, and A.J. Ewing has no MLB history vs that pitcher.

Drake Baldwin is 1-for-3 against Nolan McLean, while Ozzie Albies is 1-for-4 in 5 PA with a .250 average and .650 OPS. Dominic Smith and Mike Yastrzemski have each gone 1-for-2, with Smith carrying a 1.000 OPS and Yastrzemski also at 1.000 OPS. Matt Olson is hitless at 0-for-5 with a .000 OPS, Michael Harris II is hitless at 0-for-5 with a .000 OPS, and Mauricio Dubón is hitless at 0-for-2 with a .000 OPS. Austin Riley has seen McLean twice and drawn two walks, and Jim Jarvis has no MLB history vs that pitcher.

The away side clearly brings more established success against the opposing starter, with several hitters owning strong extra-base production and larger samples versus Pérez. The home side has seen McLean before, but most of that history is either limited or unproductive.
