The chase for No. 28 continues Monday night, as the Bronx Bombers hit the road for a three-game series with the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. New York is 5–1 since the three-time MVP rejoined the lineup, now looking to capitalize on Minnesota’s second-half swoon.
First pitch is at 7:40 p.m. ET. The Yankees are 1.5-run road favorites with -132 moneyline odds on DraftKings Sportsbook. The Twins are +110 underdogs, with the game total set at O/U eight runs.

Best Aaron Judge Prop Bet for Yankees vs. Twins
Best Bet: Aaron Judge 2+ Hits + Runs + RBIs (-129)
Aaron Judge hasn’t been himself since returning to the lineup on September 8, hitting just 3-for-17 with zero home runs and nine strikeouts. But that shouldn’t come as a surprise — nor as a deterrent. The perennial All-Star had been shelved since May 31 with a rib fracture and skipped a rehab assignment to rejoin the Yankees as soon as possible. This last week has merely been the beginning of his competitive ramp-up.
With five games under his belt, the 34-year-old slugger should start feeling more comfortable at the plate in the coming days. He starts the week with serious breakout potential in a favorable matchup with Minnesota’s Dean Kremer. The ex-Orioles right-hander is saddled with a 5.65 ERA (4.62 xERA) across 14 starts in 2026, ranking in the bottom 13 percent of MLB arms in ground-ball rate (35.9 percent).
In past meetings with his former AL East rival, Judge has gone a spectacular 6-for-17 (.353) with a 1.535 OPS, four home runs, and five RBIs.
