Aaron Judge to Win AL MVP (-550): Buy

At -550 odds, Judge is the clear favorite to capture American League MVP honors, and it’s no surprise. The slugger leads all MLB in home runs (37), RBI (96), and OPS (1.130), while his .314 batting average ranks third in the AL. No longer having to contend with Shohei Ohtani, betting on Judge to capture his second career AL MVP award is a no-brainer, even at this high price.

Aaron Judge to Hit 60+ Regular Season Home Runs (+230): Buy

Judge’s home run total through 105 games put him on pace for 57 this season,  just behind his AL-record 62 in 2022. However, there is reason to believe another 60+ home run effort is within reach.

The most significant factor is New York’s York’sing schedule. Over the final two months of the regular season, the Yankees face some of the worst teams in baseball, including the Chicago White Sox (27-81), Colorado Rockies (38-69), Oakland A’s (44A’s), and Los Angeles Angels (46-60). The Yankees also have series against struggling clubs in the Toronto Blue Jays (49-56), Detroit Tigers (52-55), Texas Rangers (51-55), Chicago Cubs (51-56), and Washington Nationals (49-57), all prone to serving up the long ball.

At +230 odds, Judge hitting 60+ home runs is a solid value play. I’m buyI’m.
