The MLB PrizePicks Square to Take on Tuesday

Matthew Liberatore draws the Tuesday night start for the St. Louis Cardinals against the Atlanta Braves, offering strong upside to smash his 21.5 fantasy score square on PrizePicks. Despite a rough 3-5 record and 5.56 ERA overall in 2026, Liberatore has shown flashes of dominance that align perfectly with this matchup.

Liberatore’s underlying stuff remains sharp: a mid-90s fastball with solid secondary offerings, generating swings-and-misses (around 20% K-rate). He has a career 3.77 ERA in four appearances (14⅓ IP) against Atlanta, including low-run outings that translate to fantasy points via strikeouts and quality innings.

The Braves have struggled offensively of late, posting a subpar June. Liberatore’s left-handed delivery gives him an edge against several key righty-heavy parts of Atlanta’s lineup. At Truist Park, he can limit hard contact and rack up 5+ strikeouts while pitching into the 6th inning—key for fantasy scoring systems that reward innings pitched, Ks, and limiting earned runs.

Recent bullpen support and Cardinals’ defense behind him boost his floor. Liberatore has the pedigree (former top prospect) to rebound in a favorable spot. Expect 6+ innings, 6+ Ks, and limited damage for a score well north of 21.5.
