It’s a pretty safe bet that the New York Yankees are making the playoffs. What’s less certain is how much team captain and MVP candidate Aaron Judge will contribute.
Not that there needs to be a grand sense of urgency about Judge’s production. He’s batting .319 with an MLB-leading 51 home runs and 126 RBI. The Yankees also hold a two-game lead over rival Baltimore in the AL East.
However, all of this has happened without Aaron Judge at his best. His .319 batting average is down eight points from the start of the month.
