Check out my Aaron Judge total base and strikeout props below, as well as some other Judge prop selections to choose from:

Yankees vs Giants Matchup Preview - Game Time: 10:15 pm ET

Pick 1: Aaron Judge Over 1.5 Total Bases (+105)

I’m a little worried about this Judge vs Hicks matchup for the Bronx Bomber. I’ll get into the specifics a bit more below (and how to capitalize on the matchup). But, at a base level, I think Judge is too hot to completely fade right now,

The Yankees outfielder has gone over 1.5 total bases in six of his last 10 games, doing so with a home run in five of those contests. Over the last month, Judge’s hot streak has seen his OPS rise from .731 to 1.020 (back to his MVP levels).

The California native has also raked against the Giants in his career posting a .462 average and 1.385 OPS against San Fran.

When you're giving me plus-money on over 1.5 total bases for a guy like Judge (with how hot he is right now), I've gotta take it.

Pick 2: Aaron Judge Over 1.5 Strikeouts (+125)

I just broke down why I think Judge will continue his hot streak and get over 1.5 bases, but this is how I'm going to fade the outfielder, at the same time.

Judge has faced Hicks three times in his career, never getting on base and striking out in two of those at-bats. We all know how hard Hicks throws, averaging over 95 MPH on both his sinker and four-seam fastball, and that velo is going to add even more swing-and-miss to Judge's game. The Yankees outfielder hits 'just' .236 against pitches over 95 MPH this season, striking out 33.3% of the time, too. That strikeout rate is over 7% higher than his usual rate.

Even in his current hot streak, Judge has still struck out over 1.5 times in three of his last six contests, registering four strikeouts in Thursday's win over the Angels.

Even if Hicks can't get us there, I like the Giants bullpen to rack up a punchout or two against Judge, as well. San Francisco's relievers have the second-most strikeouts in baseball right now at 239.
