Best MLB RBIs Matchups — Tuesday, July 7, 2026
Top rbis spot: Luis García Jr.
Luis García Jr. (WSH) tops the board at 100, facing RHP Tatsuya Imai. The lefty is driving in runs at .208 RBI/PA against righties this year — and .439 over the last two weeks, an elite bat that turns into a RBI in about 18% of his trips. And Tatsuya Imai has been getting lit up by righties lately — .208 RBIs 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 Tatsuya Imai. It all sets up in a neutral park.
The rest of the top of the board
- Junior Caminero (TB) (90) vs RHP Will Warren: an elite bat at .175 into an arm getting lit up by the same side (.158), due to bounce back.

- Manny Machado (SD) (82) vs RHP Zac Gallen: an excellent bat at .159 into an arm getting lit up by the same side (.421).

Lineup watch
288 of today's hitters are still on projected lineups, drawn from each team's last game. Batting order drives the score, so these flip the moment official lineups post — usually about two hours before first pitch. Anyone who doesn't make the official card gets flagged "Not starting" and drops to the bottom.
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.
