The Yankees are fresh off a three-game sweep of the Royals and will play their first AL East matchup of the 2025 season. New York will visit the Rays for a four-game series starting tonight.
While the Rays are the hosts, they’re not playing at Tropicana Field. The stadium sustained damage during a hurricane, so the Rays are playing the 2025 season at George M. Steinbrenner Field, the Yankees’ spring training home field.
Tampa Bay is currently fourth in the AL East standings and has played a majority of its games at home. The Yankees are in first, just a half game ahead of the Blue Jays.
The Yankees and Rays both have moneylines of -110 today, but the Yankees are favored on the run line of -1.5 for +142. Will Warren takes the mound for New York and will go against right hander Taj Bradley. The game total is set at nine runs on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Below I have featured my favorite Aaron Judge prop bets to consider from tonight’s contest.
Best Aaron Judge Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Aaron Judge 2+ hits (+220)
Judge remains one of the best hitters in recent MLB history. The Yankees captain hits for average, power and is an on-base threat every time he steps into the box.
He’s currently leading MLB with a .409 average, .519 on-base percentage and .803 slugging. Judge also tops MLB in hits (27) and is second in home runs (seven) and RBIs (21).
No pitcher has consistently slowed him down, and he has a favorable ball park for tonight’s game. Steinbrenner Field has the same dimensions as Yankee Stadium, which is widely considered a home-run friendly park. Additionally, Judge has played in this park for years of spring training, so he should be comfortable, even if it is technically not a home game.
Judge has been on a tear in recent games, too. The right fielder has at least two hits in four of his last five and six of his last eight games. It’s a hot streak worth riding since this isn’t a fluke. Judge is this good, and he has years of stats to prove it.
His over/under hits prop is listed at 0.5 for -240, but it’s much better value at 2+ hits. Getting this line at not only plus value, but at +220 is a great deal. Judge has at least two hits in eight of 18 games this season.
Aaron Judge 1+ home run (+180)
Another prop bet to consider for Judge is for the slugger to hit at least one home run.
As mentioned before, Steinbrenner Field has the same dimensions as Yankee Stadium, which is a home run friendly park. While it typically better serves left-handed batters due to the short right field porch, Judge hits the ball to all parts of the field.
The Yankees superstar isn’t a one-dimensional push or pull hitter. He takes advantage of all of the ball park, which benefits him, especially at Yankee Stadium. That’ll also be the case at Steinbrenner Field.
Judge has the second most home runs (seven) in MLB, and he’s hitting the ball consistently. Any time he’s in the batter’s box, there’s a good chance he sends the ball 400 feet into the stands. At +180, it’s good value, especially considering the ball park dimensions and his familiarity with Steinbrenner Field.
Parlaying both bets yields a +325 value.
