Yankees slugger Aaron Judge hit a decisive home run in the seventh inning of a 4-3 victory against Kansas City on Wednesday, marking his first homer since April 4. Home runs tend to cluster for Judge, who previously hit six in a six-game span early in the season. On Thursday, Judge is matched against Rays starter Taj Bradley, who holds a record of 2-0 with a 3.71 ERA but has allowed two home runs across three starts. The latest MLB prop bets at FanDuel Sportsbook offer +215 odds for Judge to hit another home run.
Player Picks
Ben Rice (+475)
Rice, despite fewer at-bats than teammates like Jazz Chisholm and Judge, is one of three players in New York’s lineup with at least five homers this season. He hit a home run against San Francisco on Saturday and has an excellent chance against Rays starter Taj Bradley.
Jacob Fetner, a SportsLine Data Scientist, values Rice’s homer line at +389, making the +475 odds on offer quite appealing.
Junior Caminero (+520)
Caminero leads the Tampa Bay lineup with four home runs, including three in his last five games. He is expected to perform well in Thursday’s matchup against a struggling rookie pitcher.
Logan O’Hoppe (+450)
O’Hoppe may return to the starting lineup after a brief absence, having previously hit five homers in his first seven games. Given his matchup against Kumar Rocker, who has not been pitching up to his previous standard, he presents a solid betting opportunity.
