Best MLB RBIs Matchups — Friday, July 24, 2026
Top rbis spot: Sal Stewart
Sal Stewart (CIN) tops the board at 100, facing RHP Dustin May. The righty is driving in runs at .179 RBI/PA against righties this year — and .343 over the last two weeks, an elite bat that turns into a RBI in about 18% of his trips. And Dustin May has been getting lit up by righties lately — .210 RBIs per batter faced. The bullpen behind him is roughly average to that side. He's hitting in a spot worth about 4.5 trips, so the volume's there. No real history against Dustin May. It all sets up in a neutral park.

Lineup watch
270 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.
