Aaron Judge to homer is — once again — MLB’s most bet prop of the night as his American League record-tying 61st home run looms large.
Judge to homer vs. the Red Sox on Thursday is drawing seven times as many bets at Caesars as any other player's home run prop. At DraftKings Judge makes up 72% of all bets on the prop (Albert Pujols and Mike Trout are the next closest at 2% each).
Every single bet on Judge yes/no home runs at WynnBet is on him tying Roger Maris' AL record tonight — highly unusual for any bet.
Bettors have flocked to sportsbooks all year to bet on Judge — who hit his 60th homer on Tuesday. Since opening day, BetRivers has taken three times as much money on Judge's home run props as it has on Shohei Ohtani’s, the next closet player.
