00:00We'll be right back.

00:05Aaron Judge once again his 18th home run of the year and the New York Yankees an 8-3 victory

00:13on the road in Anaheim against the Angels.

00:16Yankees, minus 176.

00:18Moneyline favorite, total of eight and a half to sky over.

00:21A good offensive performance out of New York.

00:24And Aaron Judge, he's playing some good baseball.

00:27Yeah, by the way, good start by Rodon.

00:29Six innings pitch, three earned runs.

00:31Keep you in that each and every time, specifically with that Yankees offense.

00:34Sandoval came into that game struggling a bit, now sitting at a 5.34 ERA,

00:39despite going six innings and only two earned runs.

00:42But sometimes you've just got to lean on your big boppers in the middle of that lineup.

00:45Aaron Judge only got one hit, but if you're going to take that one hit each and every night

00:48and turn it into two RBIs with a home run, that's what you'll take out of it.

00:51And also, how about Juan Soto?

00:53One for three, gets two walks, but also catches in with three RBI,

00:57hitting 312 on the season.

00:59First three guys in that lineup.

01:00And Volpe broke a long streak of getting base hits here,

01:03but he's still hitting 283.

01:04True.

01:05Volpe, Soto, Judge, Stanton.

01:07That's been a very good formidable one through four to open the season.

01:10And that includes Stanton, only hitting 225.

01:12Hopefully that number rises higher.

01:14But if you say at the end of this season Aaron Judge hits 275,

01:18which he's sitting at 273 right now, he's probably having an MVP-like season

01:22because that means a lot of long balls included in that 275 average.

01:26The race for 40 is on today.

01:29The Yankees, 39 wins.

01:31Tied for the most in the bigs alongside the Philadelphia Phillies.

01:34Also, 39 wins.

01:36Aaron Judge, 18 home runs alongside Kyle Tucker and Gunnar Henderson.

01:41The most in all of MLB.

01:43And Juan Soto, that base is clearing triple.

01:46In the seventh yesterday, three RBIs.

01:48He's got 49 this year.

01:50Tied for the second most in Major League Baseball.

01:53You've got the two teammates in pinstripes

01:55that are the two frontrunners to win the American League MVP.

01:58Juan Soto, the favorite at this moment.
