Will Aaron Judge Hit 61st Home Run Friday Night? Betting Public Says Yes

Aaron Judge continues the quest for his American League record-tying 61st home run Friday night against the Boston Red Sox.

Judge has failed to homer in the past two games, since notching his 60th earlier this week. That hasn't stopped the betting public from hammering his his home run props, though and they're continuing to do so today.

Sportsbooks have cleaned up this week with the majority of bettors losing on Judge's home run prop so far. Last night 100% of bets WynnBet drew on the prop had the over.

Based on Judge's home run output (2.48 games per HR) he's on pace to tie Roger Maris' American League record tonight.
