Best MLB RBIs Matchups — Saturday, June 27, 2026
Top rbis spot: Junior Caminero
Junior Caminero (TB) tops the board at 100, facing RHP Jose Cabrera. The righty is driving in runs at .162 RBI/PA against righties this year — and .390 over the last two weeks, an elite bat that turns into a RBI in about 19% of his trips. And Jose Cabrera has been thin against righties lately. 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 Jose Cabrera. It all sets up in a neutral park.
The rest of the top of the board
- Byron Buxton (MIN) (100) vs RHP Michael Lorenzen: an excellent bat at .143 into an arm getting lit up by the same side (.176).
- Nick Kurtz (ATH) (100) vs LHP Reid Detmers: an excellent bat at .147 into an arm getting lit up by the same side (.182).
- Owen Caissie (MIA) (94) vs RHP Andre Pallante: an elite bat at .177 into an arm stingy with runs against the same side (.043).
- Andrew Vaughn (MIL) (92) vs LHP David Peterson: an excellent bat at .156 into an arm stingy with runs against the same side (.091).
- Matt Shaw (CHC) (91) vs LHP Kyle Harrison: an elite bat at .169 into an arm stingy with runs against the same side (.080), due to bounce back.
- Kody Clemens (MIN) (88) vs RHP Michael Lorenzen: an excellent bat at .147 into an arm stingy with runs against the same side (.069).
- Alec Burleson (STL) (87) vs RHP Ryan Gusto: an excellent bat at .154 into an arm mostly holding up against the same side (.107).

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.
