Best MLB Hits Matchups — Saturday, June 6, 2026
Top hits spot: Jackson Chourio
Jackson Chourio (MIL) tops the board at 100, facing RHP Zach Agnos. The righty is hitting .271 H/PA against righties this year — and .267 over the last two weeks, a strong bat that turns into a hit in about 26% of his trips. And Zach Agnos has been getting tattooed by righties lately — .615 hits per batter faced. One catch: the bullpen behind him has been stingy to that side late. He's hitting in a spot worth about 4.5 trips, so the volume's there. No real history against Zach Agnos. It all sets up in a hitter's park, weather helping.

How to read these hits matchups
Each score (0–100) starts with the hitter's hits per plate appearance against the hand he's facing — weighted toward the last two weeks, then the season, then a two-year baseline. Then it layers in the bullpen, his spot in the order, and park and weather. Higher means more of it points his way. It's context, not a lock — a great spot still goes 0-for-4 sometimes, and a tough one runs into one. The edge is in stacking the odds, and since we grade every board, you can see how often the top of the list delivers.
