Toronto Blue Jays vs San Diego Padres Starting Lineup — Friday, Jul 10, 2026

Toronto has a mixed but mostly light history against JP Sears. Myles Straw has the best track record at 3-for-6 in 7 PA with a 1.404 OPS, while Ernie Clement is 1-for-1 and Daulton Varsho is 1-for-2 with a 1.000 OPS. George Springer has the largest sample but is just 1-for-10 with a .200 OPS, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is hitless at 0-for-3 with a .000 OPS. Alejandro Kirk is 0-for-2 in 3 PA with a .333 OPS, Luis Urías is 0-for-1 in 2 PA with a .500 OPS, Jonatan Clase is 0-for-2 with a .000 OPS, and Kazuma Okamoto has no MLB history vs that pitcher.

San Diego shows more established history against Shane Bieber, led by Xander Bogaerts at 4-for-11 in 12 PA with a 1.144 OPS. Gavin Sheets has also seen Bieber plenty, going 5-for-18 with a .945 OPS, while Ty France is 1-for-3 with a .666 OPS and Miguel Andujar is 1-for-2 in 3 PA with a 1.167 OPS. Fernando Tatis Jr., Jackson Merrill, Manny Machado, Jase Bowen, and Rodolfo Durán have no MLB history vs that pitcher.

The Padres clearly bring more familiarity into this matchup, with several hitters owning productive prior samples against Bieber. Toronto has a few positive results against Sears, but most of the Blue Jays' history is either limited or unproductive.
