ARLINGTON, Texas - Aaron Judge is currently sitting on 61 home runs, and the New York Yankees only have three games left on their schedule.
All three of the games are against the Texas Rangers, with two of those games taking place on October 4.
This doubleheader is one of the most important events of the year for anyone looking to bet on Judge’s ability to break Roger Maris’ American League home run record of 61.
Aaron Judge 10/4 Doubleheader Betting Odds
- Aaron Judge To Hit 1+ Home Runs +125
- Aaron Judge NOT To Hit A Home Run -175
The MLB odds suggest that Judge will remain on 61 after the conclusion of these two contests. He hit his 61st home run in the 155th game of the season, and these games are going to be the 160th and 161st games respectively.
The New York media is already growing restless with Judge’s stay at 61, with The New York Post writing that “it’s 62 or letdown” for Judge.
Judge, on the other hand, does not seem to be perturbed. He’s focused on the playoffs above all else at this point.
“I have a job to do, to get ready for the postseason,” Judge said.
Judge also doesn’t want to skip any games, although he did note that he might not play the entirety of the doubleheader.
“Maybe not play both ends of (Tuesday’s) doubleheader, but we have quite a few days off after (Wednesday) so that’s when I’ll rest,” Judge said.
Aaron Judge Comes Up Short Odds
- Aaron Judge Zero Hits +375
Of course, it’s possible that Judge does not even get his bat on the ball in the series. Pitchers have been avoiding him, as the rest of the Yankees lineup has been struggling. Judge has received deference after hitting his 61st home run, with more walks than non-walks.
While it would surely disappoint the fans to see yet another team pitch around Judge, the odds seem to suggest it is definitely possible.
