Aaron Judge has now gone five whole games and 21 plate appearances without hitting a home run.
What are the odds his “slump” lasts at least another three?
How about one more game?
Not likely, eh?
With 60 dingers on the season, chances are the New York Yankees slugging outfielder is going to tie, and possibly break, Roger Maris’ American League record of 61 at Rogers Centre, where the first-place Bronx Bombers are visiting the Toronto Blue Jays for a three-game series.
Judge is listed on FanDuel at +220 to go yard this evening.
It appears to be a bet to jump on.
According to StatMuse, Judge has a career batting average of .364 (8-for-22) against Kevin Gausman, the Jays starting pitcher tonight.
That total includes three homers and six RBI in 28 plate appearances.
Gausman has also had trouble with the long ball of late, surrendering seven homers in his last five games.
Anyway, if not tonight, Judge will almost tie the record Tuesday or Wednesday.
He’s hit 27 career homers against the Jays, more than any team aside from the Baltimore Orioles (35), and 11 of them have come at Rogers Centre, where he’s batting .254 in 122 at bats.
Judge’s overall numbers against the Jays include a .293 average in 331 at bats.
