💰 Best Aaron Judge bet today
Aaron Judge to record 2+ hits, runs, + RBI's (-130)
Aaron Judge returns to the Yankees lineup tonight for the first time since May 31, and the matchup against Rockies right-hander Gabriel Hughes creates an appealing spot for a big offensive performance. Judge hit .248 with 17 home runs and 38 RBI across 59 games before his rib injury, and he has reportedly faced live pitching during his ramp-up.
The matchup is especially attractive because Hughes enters with a 6.19 ERA, while Colorado's pitching staff has allowed 5.73 runs per game this season. Judge's return should immediately strengthen a Yankees lineup that has missed his middle-of-the-order presence. If he receives a normal workload, his combination of elite contact quality, power and run-producing opportunities gives him a path to 2+ hits, runs and RBI's tonight. The biggest concern is rust, but Judge has had time to prepare, making his return worth backing.
