Judge, the 2022 American League MVP, is one of the most feared hitters in all of baseball.
He's also benefited greatly from having Juan Soto in the lineup in front of him. Soto was acquired this offseason in a trade from the San Diego Padres and the two have given each other enormous lineup protection. Judge and Soto will both need to be locked in this week as the Yankees open up a new series with the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night. The Yankees have the best record in the American League but only lead the O's by 1.5 games in the American League East and this could absolutely be an ALCS preview.
First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. ET as Albert Suarez battles against veteran lefty Nestor Cortes Jr. .Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
