Oddsmakers are making it clear that Aaron Judge has a good chance of hitting 60-plus home runs again.
The Yankees slugger is rated +230 by FanDuel Sportsbook to reach 60 home runs this season for the second time in his career.
Judge also has a chance to break his own American League home run record of 62 in 2022.
FanDuel has him at +430 to hit a big fly ball of 63 or better.
Judge is looking to build off an otherworldly first half as the calendar turns to July.
In May, Judge batted .361/.479/.918 with 14 home runs, 12 doubles and 27 RBIs, earning him the AL Player of the Month honors.
He followed that up with perhaps an even better June, batting .409/.514/.864 with 11 home runs and 37 RBIs, all but guaranteeing he’ll be named AL Player of the Month for the second straight year.
Before the Yankees’ 5-4 loss to the Reds on Tuesday, Judge was batting .316/.436/.708 with 31 home runs and 82 RBIs in 84 games.
Judge hit his 32nd solo home run of the season in the loss to the Reds.
He already led the majors in other hitting categories entering Tuesday’s game, including home runs, RBIs, slugging percentage and OPS.
This incredible performance makes him the favorite to win his second American League MVP award.
Judge, who surpassed teammate Juan Soto to top the odds board last month, is rated -270 to win the award, well ahead of the second-favorite, Gunnar Henderson (+350).

According to FanGraphs, Judge is on pace for 59 home runs, just six shy of the milestone, but that figure includes a lackluster April performance.
If he can maintain the pace he did in May and June, the American League single-season home run record could be broken again.
