Currently, DraftKings has him at +700 for a walk/HBP in his first plate appearance. With the Rays 1.5 games back of the division lead, there’s a ton on the line, and Judge is the only threat on this weak New York offense that has a +24% ROI on the team total Under over its last 34 games.Īnother way to attack this edge is with Judge’s live odds for a walk. The reigning MVP has six walks over 18 plate appearances since his return, and even though Eflin doesn’t walk batters, he likely will today if he has to. That’s giving plenty of value to Judge’s Over 0.5 walks at -140 at DraftKings.

198-hitting Giancarlo Stanton batting behind him, there is no need to pitch to Judge.

He saw zero strikes in his second at-bat with one man on base, took a seven-pitch free pass in his third AB, and then looked at five pitches in his last at-bat for his third walk. Judge went 0-for-1 but also drew three walks - the only three Tampa gave up. That was the approach the Rays took with the No. Zach Eflin has issued just two walks over his last seven starts, but with the shape of this Yankees offense, there is no need to pitch to Aaron Judge. After getting shut down by Tyler Glasnow and the Tampa Bay Rays last night in the series opener, the New York Yankees will look to bounce back with Carlos Rodon facing Zach Eflin as an even-money home underdog in the MLB odds tonight.Ĭoming off a three-walk day, should bettors expect the Rays to pitch around Aaron Judge again with the lack of talent around him in this Bombers lineup?įind out where my best bets lie in our MLB picks and predictions for Rays vs.
