Aaron Judge became the first man in pinstripes to reach the 40-home run mark before August since Roger Maris did during his historic 1961 season
Back on June 27, after Judge had blasted another walkoff homer, the oddsmakers gave him just a 20% chance of besting Maris’ mark of 61 (odds were Yes +400 and No -700).
SportsBetting has reset the numbers now that Judge is on pace to hit 66 bombs in 2022. The odds are much closer, but still against him.
Will the Aaron Judge break Roger Maris’ team home run record?
Yes +140
No -180
Judge has also vaulted to the favorite position in the AL MVP race. He was second to Shohei Ohtani 10 days ago, with +125 odds but now is listed at -225.
