The New York Yankees have been on a roll against the Kansas City Royals, winning the previous five matchups. They look to take a 2-0 series lead tonight at 7:40 p.m. ET.
Aaron Judge has had an incredible season so far, hitting 24 home runs with 58 RBIs while batting .396. Check out my top prop bet for Judge against the Royals tonight.
Aaron Judge over 1.5 hits (+175)
Judge is first in the MLB in batting average, and second in home runs and RBIs. He is also first in OBP (.491), SLG (.776), and OPS (1.267). The crazy part is that each of those last three stats is better than last season. He is already a two-time MVP but seems to continue getting better.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Judges’ over in hits is set at 1.5, which is +175. That is surprising since he is coming off a two-hit performance against the Royals last night while hitting a home run. He has hit three home runs in the previous two games.
Judge is leading baseball in hits with 97 this season in 65 games. That means he is averaging 1.49 hits per contest this year. Of the 65 games, he has 31 multi-hit performances. The Yankees face Kris Bubic tonight, whom Judge has found success against. Judge has four hits in seven at-bats against Bubic in his career.
With Judge’s recent stretch, it is wise to back him against the Royals tonight. He has recorded two-plus hits in four of his last six games and six of 10.
