Best MLB RBIs Matchups — Monday, June 15, 2026
Top rbis spot: Nick Kurtz
Nick Kurtz (ATH) tops the board at 100, facing RHP Jared Jones. The lefty is driving in runs at .162 RBI/PA against righties this year — and .231 over the last two weeks, an excellent bat that turns into a RBI in about 16% of his trips. And Jared Jones has been mostly holding up against righties lately — .105 RBIs per batter faced. The bullpen behind him hasn't been any better to that side, so there's no relief late. He's hitting in a spot worth about 4.7 trips, so the volume's there. No real history against Jared Jones. It all sets up in a neutral park, weather helping.
The rest of the top of the board
- Seiya Suzuki (CHC) (94) vs RHP Michael Lorenzen: an excellent bat at .146 into an arm getting lit up by the same side (.320), hot bat.
- Kerry Carpenter (DET) (92) vs RHP Kai-Wei Teng: an elite bat at .164 into an arm getting lit up by the same side (.304).
- Luis García Jr. (WSH) (89) vs RHP Mitch Spence: an excellent bat at .157 into an arm with little track record against the same side.
- Brandon Lowe (PIT) (87) vs RHP J.T. Ginn: an elite bat at .161 into an arm mostly holding up against the same side (.108), due to bounce back.
- Yordan Alvarez (HOU) (86) vs RHP Drew Anderson: an elite bat at .180 into an arm getting lit up by the same side (.210), hot bat.
- Andy Pages (LAD) (79) vs RHP Nick Martinez: an excellent bat at .145 into an arm getting lit up by the same side (.250).
- Dillon Dingler (DET) (76) vs RHP Kai-Wei Teng: an elite bat at .172 into an arm getting lit up by the same side (.200).

How to read these rbis matchups
Each score (0–100) starts with the hitter's RBIs 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.
