Best MLB RBIs Matchups — Tuesday, July 28, 2026
Top rbis spot: Drake Baldwin
Drake Baldwin (ATL) tops the board at 100, facing RHP Christian Scott. The lefty is driving in runs at .176 RBI/PA against righties this year — and .303 over the last two weeks, an elite bat that turns into a RBI in about 18% of his trips. And Christian Scott has been stingy with runs against righties lately — .048 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. He's just .000 in 2 career PA against Christian Scott, but that's a tiny sample and the matchup says regression. 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 it played out
0 of the top 10 rbis matchups landed at least one RBI. We post the result next to every projection so you can grade the board yourself — and so the model gets re-tuned against what actually happened.
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.
