Even if Judge doesn\u2019t hit a home run, he\u2019s likely to get good looks later in the game against Toronto\u2019s bullpen, which ranks poorly in home runs allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.wi6gapf6l3xq\"><strong>Same-Game Parlay (SGP)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Aaron Judge to Record a Hit<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Judge to Hit a Home Run<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Yankees Over 4.5 Runs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These bets are well-correlated given Judge\u2019s current form and Kikuchi\u2019s susceptibility to long balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.st7kz4jm8kjr\"><strong>Toronto&#8217;s Offensive Surge<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been a standout for the Blue Jays, mirroring Judge&#8217;s impressive performance.
