How is the h+r+rbi matchup score calculated?

It blends three routes to the line: his hit rate against that hand, the bats in front of him for RBI, and the bats behind him for runs. Recent form counts most. Then the bullpen, order spot and park. 0–100 across the slate.

What does H+R+RBI mean?

It adds a hitter's hits, runs scored, and runs batted in into one number — the books call it a combo prop. It rewards all-around production: a 2-hit night with a run and an RBI is 4. Per plate appearance, around .45 is league average.

What does the score actually mean?

Higher is better. H+R+RBI is the most forgiving prop on the board — three ways to get there — so scores run higher here than on any single-outcome board. Compare within this board, not across.

What's the confidence meter?

It's how much data is behind the call — sample size on both the hitter and the pitcher, plus whether the lineup's official. A high score with low confidence is a thinner read than the same score backed by a deep track record. It's not a probability of a H+R+RBI.

What is a platoon split (handedness split)?

This board stacks three outcomes, so the platoon split compounds. The opposite hand lifts his own hit chances and the chances he's on base when the next guy drives him in.

What are park factors?

A park that produces hits produces all three legs of this number. Gaps, altitude, and weather raise the whole line together. Above 1.00 bumps the score, below 1.00 trims it.

What do "2W", "SZN" and "2Y" mean?

The timeframes behind each rate: the last two weeks (recent form), the current season, and a trailing two years (a stable baseline). Recent form counts most, and small samples get pulled toward league average so a hot week doesn't fool the model.

What do "≈ est", "Due" and "Not starting" mean?

"≈ est" is a hitter we don't have splits for yet — a rookie or unmatched ID — shown at a league-baseline estimate instead of dropped. "Due" means he hasn't recorded a H+R+RBI in a while and profiles for regression. "Not starting" means he was projected but didn't make the official lineup, so he slides to the bottom where you can still look him up.

Can I use this for h+r+rbi props or DFS?

That's what it's built for — pre-slate research. The board surfaces which hitters have the best conditions today, and where one exists, we show the book's "1+ H+R+RBI" line so you can shop the price. We're not a sportsbook and we don't post picks — we show the matchup data, the line, and the result. (Best-price and all-book odds are a Pro feature.)

How accurate is the model?

We grade every board against the box score. Three ways to clear one line makes this the most forgiving prop we publish, and the hit rate reflects that — compare it against the other boards' rates, not in isolation.

When do lineups update?

Projected lineups (marked "Proj") come from each team's last game. Official lineups usually drop about two hours before first pitch, and the board updates itself as they post. Batting order is a big driver, so it's worth a second look mid-afternoon — rankings shift as lineups lock.

Is MatchWiz free?

Yes. The full board, every game page, and the daily archive are free, no login. Best-price odds and the betting tools are the paid tier.
