STARTING PITCHERS
Michael McGreevy (R, 3.12 ERA). 95.1 IP across 17 starts. 60 K, 22 BB, 1.11 WHIP, 84 H, 13 HR. Ground-ball leaning (52.1% GB) with modest whiff rates (15.9% K%) and sharp control (5.8% BB%). Contact management first, misses second.
Kyle Harrison (L, 2.82 ERA). 79.2 IP across 16 starts. 99 K, 20 BB, 1.08 WHIP, 66 H, 9 HR. Elite strikeouts (30.6% K%) with a manageable 6.2% BB%. Fly-ball leaning at 40.0% GB -- an unusual high-K / non-GB profile.

INJURIES & ROSTER NOTES
No injury or roster-move information is available for today.
2A: BVP -- CARDINALS BATTERS VS OPPONENT STARTER
No data available for this section.
Every projected Cardinals starter faces Harrison without a career BvP sample -- a first look for the full lineup. Tonight is a profile-first read: Harrison's 2025 K% at 24.4% and his vs-LHB HR history (3 HR in 47 PA in 2025) shape the read, not history.
Bench note: No career BvP sample against Harrison for any bench batter (Torres, Fermín, Jordan, Velázquez, Pagés).
2B: BVP -- OPPONENT BATTERS VS CARDINALS STARTER
No data available for this section.
Milwaukee's projected lineup has no career BvP sample against McGreevy either. The matchup runs blind on both sides, which puts the profile numbers -- McGreevy's 2025 vs-LHB .911 OPS allowed, Harrison's 2025 K%/BB% mix -- at the center of the scouting read.
Bench note: No career BvP sample against McGreevy for any Brewers batter (bench options include Perkins, Sánchez, Lara, Jones, and depth pieces).
2C: PLATOON SPLITS -- CARDINALS
| Player | PA | AVG | OBP | SLG | HR | BB | K |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lars Nootbaar L | 180 | .201 | .291 | .289 | 3 | 17 | 47 |

| Jimmy Crooks L | 8 | .250 | .250 | .625 | 1 | 0 | 2 |
Against Harrison (L) tonight, the 2025 vs-LHP sample flips the lineup's leverage toward the 3 RHB. Herrera (.330/.455/.660 with 9 HR in 124 PA) is the game-changing RHB in this matchup -- an extreme platoon edge. Winn (.255/.313/.349) and Walker (.255/.318/.347) round out the RHB with useful, unspectacular numbers. Nootbaar's 180 PA vs LHP at .201/.291/.289 is the lineup's clearest platoon liability; Church's 14 PA at .417 is too thin to lean on. Six LHB face a LHP -- the platoon math is against Cardinals depth.
2C: PLATOON SPLITS -- OPPONENT
| Player | PA | AVG | OBP | SLG | HR | BB | K |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| William Contreras R | 502 | .263 | .349 | .409 | 14 | 59 | 92 |

| Garrett Mitchell L | 54 | .208 | .278 | .333 | 0 | 5 | 21 |
Against McGreevy (R) tonight, Milwaukee's 2025 vs-RHP sample is deep and dangerous. Contreras (.263/.349/.409 in 502 PA), Turang (.274/.352/.447 with 16 HR), Yelich (.271/.356/.493 with 25 HR), and Frelick (.278/.342/.421) all carry above-average lines. Bauers (.244/.360/.428) adds a walk-heavy secondary threat. Ortiz (.203/.261/.272) and Mitchell (.208/.278/.333) are the discount matchups -- attack for outs. The 6 RHB in the projected lineup are where McGreevy's platoon strength lives.
2D: PITCHER PLATOON SPLITS
| Pitcher | vs | PA | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS | HR | K |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kyle Harrison | vs RHB | 109 | .255 | .358 | .362 | .720 | 1 | 28 |
| Kyle Harrison | vs LHB | 47 | .234 | .234 | .489 | .723 | 3 | 10 |
| Michael McGreevy | vs LHB | 190 | .318 | .368 | .543 | .911 | 9 | 27 |
| Michael McGreevy | vs RHB | 210 | .225 | .255 | .325 | .580 | 3 | 31 |
Harrison's 2025 platoon splits show a rare LHP quirk: his vs-RHB sample (.255/.358/.362) leaks on-base without much slugging, while his vs-LHB sample (.234/.234/.489) allows almost no walks but 3 HR in 47 PA. The Cardinals' 3 RHB (Herrera, Walker, Winn) will look to work counts; the 6 LHB need to keep the ball off the barrel.
McGreevy's 2025 vs-LHB line (.318/.368/.543, .911 OPS) is the collision -- Milwaukee's 6 LHB include Yelich (25 HR vs RHP in 2025), Bauers (8 HR), and Turang (16 HR). His vs-RHB line (.225/.255/.325, .580 OPS) is elite by comparison, keeping the 6 RHB in the projected MIL lineup as the more manageable half.
2D-HA: PITCHER HOME/AWAY SPLITS
| Pitcher | Split | BF | IP | ERA | K | BB | HR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kyle Harrison | Away | 105 | 26.0 | 2.08 | 27 | 10 | 3 |
| Kyle Harrison | Home | 51 | 9.2 | 8.38 | 11 | 4 | 1 |
| Michael McGreevy | Away | 188 | 45.2 | 3.55 | 24 | 9 | 6 |
| Michael McGreevy | Home | 212 | 50.0 | 5.22 | 34 | 11 | 6 |
Tonight's game is at Busch Stadium -- McGreevy pitching at home (5.22 ERA in 50.0 IP), Harrison pitching away (2.08 ERA in 26.0 IP). Both directions favor the more meaningful side of each pitcher's split: Harrison's road number is his ceiling, McGreevy's home number is his floor. That framing sits at the center of the matchup before a single pitch.
2E: TTO SPLITS (TIMES THROUGH ORDER)
| Pitcher | TTO | PA | AVG | SLG | OPS | HR | K | BB |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kyle Harrison | TTO1 | 84 | .222 | .403 | .736 | 2 | 25 | 12 |
| Kyle Harrison | TTO2 | 57 | .218 | .291 | .537 | 1 | 10 | 1 |
| Kyle Harrison | TTO3 | 15 | .500 | .857 | 1.390 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
| Michael McGreevy | TTO1 | 154 | .282 | .465 | .792 | 5 | 22 | 8 |
| Michael McGreevy | TTO2 | 152 | .271 | .417 | .715 | 4 | 14 | 6 |
| Michael McGreevy | TTO3 | 94 | .241 | .379 | .677 | 3 | 22 | 6 |
Harrison's 2025 second pass through the order is his lockdown zone (.218/.246/.291, .537 OPS in 57 PA). His third pass through the order at .500/.533/.857 is a 15 PA sample -- thin -- but flags a cliff on the third pass. If the Cardinals reach a third pass through the order (innings 7+), that is the exploit window. Harrison's first pass through the order at .222/.333/.403 is above average; his early-game control is where the walks show up (12 BB in 84 PA).
McGreevy's 2025 TTO progression is unusually flat: .792 OPS (first pass), .715 (second pass), .677 (third pass). His third pass through the order is his best window -- an anti-typical profile. Milwaukee should target the first pass rather than wait for a fade that does not arrive.
2F: INHERITED RUNNERS PROFILE
| Reliever | IR | Scored | Strand% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kyle Leahy | 29 | 11 | 62.1% |
| JoJo Romero | 26 | 3 | 88.5% |

| Gordon Graceffo | 11 | 5 | 54.5% |
| Riley O'Brien | 10 | 3 | 70.0% |
| Michael McGreevy | 3 | 0 | 100.0% |
Romero (88.5% strand in 26 IR chances) and O'Brien (70.0% in 10) are the clean bullpen leverage arms in 2025. Svanson (50.0%) and Graceffo (54.5%) are the danger side -- inherited-runner situations they enter tend to score. League average strand rate: ~68-72%. If McGreevy's home ERA holds and he leaves runners on, the choice of relief arm decides the game.

| Brice Turang | .327 | .609 | .077 |
| Andrew Vaughn | .197 | .659 | .059 |
| Christian Yelich | .245 | .632 | .125 |
McGreevy's career 49.2% GB profile meets a Brewers lineup with genuine GB tendency at the top: Yelich (62.3% 2025 GB), Contreras (53.1%), Turang (48.3%). That is a GB-on-GB collision that has hurt Yelich in career grounders (.245 career GB AVG). On Harrison's side, the fly-ball tendency and 38.4% career GB rate suggest RHB in the Cardinals lineup (Walker's 2025 48.9% GB, Herrera 52.6%) will hit into a more balanced batted-ball pattern than a strict FB-pitcher matchup.
2H: BATTERY PAIRING
| Catcher | G | IP | ERA | AVG | OBP | SLG |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pedro Pagés | 14 | 80.2 | 4.24 | .266 | -- | -- |
| Jimmy Crooks | 2 | 8.2 | 9.35 | .385 | -- | -- |
| Yohel Pozo | 1 | 5.2 | 0.00 | .056 | -- | -- |
McGreevy's 2025 catcher pairings are dominated by Pedro Pagés (14 games, 80.2 IP, 4.24 ERA), his primary battery. Tonight's projected catcher is Jimmy Crooks (2 games, 8.2 IP together, 9.35 ERA) -- a small paired sample. Yohel Pozo is not on the current active roster, so his 5.2 IP row is context only, not tonight's option.
A still-forming battery is its own signal. Expect early-count sequencing wobbles from Crooks and McGreevy, and expect Milwaukee's runners to test the arm. The 8.2 IP paired workload is the smallest of McGreevy's active-roster catcher options.
2I: BASERUNNING MATCHUP
Milwaukee brings a fleet of 2025 SB threats to Busch tonight:
-- Brice Turang: 24 SB / 8 CS / 75.0% success
-- Jackson Chourio: 21 SB / 7 CS / 75.0%
-- Sal Frelick: 19 SB / 6 CS / 76.0%
-- Christian Yelich: 16 SB / 6 CS / 72.7%
-- Joey Ortiz: 14 SB / 3 CS / 82.4%
-- Jake Bauers: 8 SB / 1 CS / 88.9% (elite conversion)
-- William Contreras: 6 SB / 4 CS / 60.0%
-- Garrett Mitchell: 3 SB / 0 CS / 100.0%
Read: With Crooks-McGreevy at only 8.2 IP shared workload, the running game should be on the game plan. Turang and Chourio at the top of the projected order set the tone.

Winn's 129 games at SS (.994 fielding, 3 E) anchors the infield tonight. Walker starts in RF (108 G, .981). Nootbaar in LF (107 G, 1.000 fielding) is a plus-defender assignment against a Brewers lineup that runs a lot to left. Burleson takes 1B (50 G, .990). Crooks catches (14 G, 1.000) tonight; Herrera moves to DH. Church starts in CF, where his 18 G at 1.000 fielding is a positive tick against Milwaukee's line-drive-prone hitters (Contreras .651 LD AVG, Frelick .682).
2K: BALLPARK CONTEXT & HEAD-TO-HEAD
Busch Stadium plays as a pitcher-leaning venue historically. Recent head-to-head has trended against St. Louis: 6-7 in 2025, 5-8 in 2024, 5-8 in 2023, though closer at 10-9 in 2022. The 2026 slide continues -- Milwaukee has taken the first three games of this five-game set. The venue read favors pitching; the recent-sample read favors Milwaukee.

| Nathan Church | 65 | 18 | 27.7% | 3 | 4.6% |
| Jimmy Crooks | 46 | 17 | 37.0% | 0 | 0.0% |
Facing Harrison's 24.4% 2025 K%, the whiff risks stack up. Walker (31.8% 2025 K%), Church (27.7%), and Crooks (37.0%) headline the strikeout risk. Nootbaar's 11.0% 2025 BB% is the lineup's disciplined mark and the best chance to force Harrison into deeper counts.
Brewers

| Gary Sánchez | 101 | 27 | 26.7% | 4 | 4.0% |
| Garrett Mitchell | 78 | 25 | 32.1% | 7 | 9.0% |
Milwaukee's plate approach in 2025 splits by role. Contreras (12.7% BB%) and Bauers (14.7%) lead in walk rate; Chourio (5.1%) and Ortiz (5.3%) are the low-walk chasers -- attack the zone against them. On strikeouts, Mitchell (32.1% 2025 K%), Bauers (27.1%), Sánchez (26.7%), and Yelich (25.9%) are the whiff-prone group; McGreevy's low K% profile still finds outs against them via contact. Frelick (13.6% K%, 8.0% BB%) is the contact anchor -- he seldom gives away at-bats.
2M: BATTER BATTED BALL PROFILE

| Nathan Church | 37 | 67.6% | 21.6% | 10.8% |
| Jimmy Crooks | 27 | 37.0% | 44.4% | 18.5% |
Church's 2025 67.6% GB rate is the lineup's most extreme; against Harrison's fly-ball leaning profile the ball should stay on the ground for him. Crooks' 44.4% FB rate is the outlier -- the only fly-ball leaner in a lineup otherwise packed with GB or balanced hitters. Herrera's 52.6% GB rate meets McGreevy's ground-ball identity later in the game.
Brewers
| Player | BIP | GB% | FB% | LD% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sal Frelick | 458 | 47.8% | 28.8% | 23.4% |

| Gary Sánchez | 59 | 45.8% | 37.3% | 16.9% |
| Garrett Mitchell | 42 | 47.6% | 26.2% | 26.2% |
Yelich's 62.3% 2025 GB rate is the Brewers' most extreme grounder profile, which fits well into McGreevy's GB identity but also into Yelich's own weak career GB AVG (.245). Contreras (53.1%) and Frelick (47.8%) round out the GB-leaning middle. Bauers (34.4% FB), Chourio (30.3%), and Ortiz (31.5%) are the FB threats against McGreevy's home HR history (6 HR allowed in 50.0 IP at Busch in 2025).
2N: PITCHER K%/BB% PROFILE
| Pitcher | IP | K | K% | BB | BB% | K/BB |

| Kyle Harrison | 35.2 | 38 | 24.4% | 14 | 9.0% | 2.71 |
Harrison's 2025 K/BB ratio is 2.71 (24.4% K%, 9.0% BB%) -- elite whiff volume with acceptable walks. McGreevy's 2025 K/BB ratio is 2.90 (14.5% K%, 5.0% BB%) -- a low-walk, low-whiff contact profile.

Iván Herrera vs Harrison. Herrera's 2025 vs-LHP baseline is .330/.455/.660 in 124 PA with 9 HR -- the lineup's most concentrated LHP threat. Harrison's 2025 vs-LHB sample (47 PA) allowed 3 HR against 10 K with 0 BB -- low-walk, HR-prone platoon slot. Approach: force strikes, then attack for damage.
McGreevy vs Yelich. McGreevy's 2025 vs-LHB line is .318/.368/.543 (.911 OPS) with 9 HR across 190 PA. Yelich's 2025 vs-RHP: .271/.356/.493 in 461 PA with 25 HR. He is on a 3-for-5 heater from Tuesday. This is the game's biggest platoon collision.
Walker vs Harrison. Walker's 2025 vs-LHP: .255/.318/.347 in 107 PA. Cleanup RHB against a LHP with a leaky vs-RHB OBP profile (.358 OBP allowed in 2025). If Walker works the count, the LHP-vs-RHB math tilts to him.
X-factor: Harrison's third pass through the order. 15 PA is thin -- but the 2025 third-pass line is .500/.533/.857. If the Cardinals reach a third pass through the order (innings 7+), that is the exploit window.
Watchlist: Brewers running game. Turang, Chourio, Frelick, Yelich, and Ortiz all have 14+ SB in 2025. Crooks and McGreevy paired only 8.2 IP together -- a fresh battery invites tests.
Watchlist: bullpen leverage. Romero at 88.5% strand in 26 IR chances vs Svanson at 50.0% in 26 IR chances. Whichever arm inherits runners tonight bends the middle innings.
