Best MLB RBIs Matchups — Friday, June 19, 2026
Top rbis spot: Nick Kurtz
Nick Kurtz (ATH) tops the board at 100, facing RHP José Soriano. The lefty is driving in runs at .174 RBI/PA against righties this year — and .262 over the last two weeks, an elite bat that turns into a RBI in about 17% of his trips. And José Soriano has been getting lit up by righties lately — .143 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. He's a fine .214 in 14 career PA against José Soriano. It all sets up in a neutral park, weather helping.

- Andy Pages (LAD) (100) vs RHP Trey Gibson: an excellent bat at .141 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.
