This it why I don't think Judge is going to top 60 home runs this season. After he hit number 55 in the first game of yesterday's doubleheader, the Twins walked him five times including three intentionally.
The reason? Despite occasional offensive flashes from others in the current lineup, based on their OPS it's a very good bet to pitch around Judge.
Plus, what team and what pitcher wants to be the one to give up the record-breaker?
Still, Judge is a lock for AL MVP, IMO.
