A Rollercoaster Record

Despite looking like the best team in baseball for more than the first half of the 2022 MLB season, the Yankees stumbled through the summer, losing their stranglehold on the rest of the league. While they've been hot recently, take a look at their last few months 👇

💪 Record at the All-Star break:

• 64-28 (1st)

😬 Record from the All-Star break until September 17:

• 23-30 (17th)

However, a stretch of better health and some timely call-ups have helped the Bombers regain their footing. The Yankees ripped off seven straight wins before a loss last night, solidifying themselves as the top team in the American League East. Clutch hitting like this has helped 🗽

The Dodgers are clearly the best team in baseball, but here's how the Yanks compare to the game's other top teams 🧢

• Dodgers: 106-47

• Astros: 101-53

• Mets: 97-57

• Braves: 97-58

• Yankees: 94-59

With nine games to go, the Yankees have already guaranteed themselves a spot in the playoffs, and need just a pair of wins, or Blue Jays losses, to take home the division title. Tonight's game is huge for both teams 💨

Yankees vs. Blue Jays Betting Odds (subject to change)

• Spread: Yankees -1.5

• Moneyline: Yankees -108 (bet $108, win $100), Blue Jays -108 (bet $108, win $100)

• O/U: 8 Total Runs

One Away From History

At 60 homers through 153 team games played, Aaron Judge is just a single shot away from tying Roger Maris' American League record, and two away from claiming the throne for himself 👑

As he's closed in on the record, the whole sports world can't help but stop everything and stare at what could be the greatest season by a batter in the modern era (good read). Some people weren't happy with this, but come on 👇

Already, Judge has joined some impossibly elite company. Here's the full list of American Leaguers to hit at least 60 homers in a single season 👇

• Roger Maris, 61 (1961)

• Babe Ruth, 60 (1927)

• Aaron Judge, 60 (2022)

With nine more games after maintaining a homer every two-and-a-half-game pace, Judge has plenty of time to match or surpass Maris and become the AL's new long-ball champion. People forget he plays defense too...

Incredibly, Judge is actually leading the AL in all three major batting categories, and stands to win the first batting Triple Crown since Miguel Cabrera in 2012. He's has the HR and RBI crowns functionally locked up, with the batting title fully up in the air

• Aaron Judge, Yankees: .314

• Xander Bogaerts, Red Sox: .314

• Luis Arraez, Twins: .313

Last night, Judge walked twice (once intentionally), had one hit, and struck-out twice. All eyes continue to be on every at-bat as the season winds down 🚨

For My Parlay Gurus

If you've been betting on the Judge HR prop for the last few days, why stop now? Judge might be playing it cool, but nerves must be creeping in with the amount of attention on each of his swing. Since we're writing about Judge, we have to ride that history will be made tonight. Peep the payout if you take Yankees ML and Judge to hit No. 61 👇

• Yankees ML @ Blue Jays: -108

• Judge To HR: +200
