Aaron Judge is knocking on the door of the American League MVP conversation after a scorching hot few weeks with the bat.
Judge came into the season as the consensus favorite to win the award after a toe injury took away his shot at a second straight MVP last year. Red Sox vs. Orioles prediction: MLB odds, picks, best bets for WednesdayAfter a slow start for his standards, Judge is in the midst of one of the best months of his career, hitting .376/.495/.906 with 11 home runs and 12 doubles in May.
Judge is now up 17 long balls on the year, which is tied with Gunnar Henderson for the second-most in the majors, with a league-leading 1.029 OPS. Perhaps most surprisingly, Judge has held his own in center field after switching to the middle of the diamond full-time this season with +1 Outs Above Average so far. Aaron Judge #99 of the New York Yankees looks on during the first inning against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park on May 26, 2024 in San Diego, California.But Judge’s excellent two months haven’t been enough to surpass his teammate, Soto, who is having a historic season of his own, as the betting favorite.
They’ll have to fend off Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. , Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson and Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker , who round out the top five and are the only other players with odds better than 20/1.
