Final Lineups
Texas Rangers @ Atlanta Braves · Sunday, Jul 19, 2026
Texas has a few hitters with encouraging but very limited history against Grant Holmes. Jake Burger stands out at .600 with a 2.400 OPS in 5 at-bats, while Josh Jung is 2-for-2 with a 2.000 OPS and Evan Carter is 1-for-2 with a 2.000 OPS. On the other side of that ledger, Joc Pederson is hitless in 1 at-bat with a 0.000 OPS, and Wyatt Langford and Brandon Nimmo are each hitless in 2 at-bats with a 0.000 OPS. Ezequiel Duran, Nicky Lopez, and Kyle Higashioka have no MLB history against Holmes.
Atlanta has a bit more spread-out history against Nathan Eovaldi, with Michael Harris II leading the way at .375 with a .750 OPS in 8 at-bats. Austin Riley is 1-for-3 with a 1.000 OPS, and Drake Baldwin is 1-for-2 with a 1.000 OPS in a very small sample. Ozzie Albies has the deepest history here but is hitless in 9 at-bats with a 0.100 OPS, while Matt Olson, Mauricio Dubón, and Dominic Smith are each hitless in 2 at-bats with a 0.000 OPS. Jim Jarvis and Brewer Hicklen have no MLB history against Eovaldi.
The Braves appear to have more hitters with prior exposure to the opposing starter, even if several of those results have been modest. The Rangers have fewer established matchups overall, but Burger, Jung, and Carter bring the strongest past production into this one.
