New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is very good at baseball — this we know.
But the defending American League MVP is on a torrid pace this season, leading the majors in batting average (.410), wins above replacement (3.6), RBI (40), on-base percentage (.497), slugging percentage (.770), hits (66) and is tied for the lead with 14 home runs.

Not surprisingly, Judge is already an overwhelming -1600 favorite to win the AL MVP award again at BetMGM, which translates to an implied probability of 94.1%.
But one BetMGM bettor is looking for a huge payout on an even rarer feat for Judge: Becoming the first player to hit .400 since Ted Williams averaged .406 in 1941.
The bettor wagered $2,000 that Judge will hit .400 or higher in the 2025 MLB season at 175-1 odds, meaning a payout of $350,000 if the Yankees star is successful.
San Diego Padres great Tony Gwynn has come the closest to hitting .400 since Williams, batting .394 before the 1994 season was canceled due to a strike.
The Yankees are currently 24-18 and have a three-game lead over the Boston Red Sox in the AL East. Of course, after losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series last season, Judge has bigger team goals on his mind — but it would be the story of the season if he can even flirt with hitting .400.

Taking stock of the AL Central: Tigers, Royals, Guardians and Twins all look like contenders in 2025
It was about this time last year that we realized that after years of the American League Central being arguably the worst division in baseball, it had three teams that looked like they could compete. The Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Guardians were all still in the process of discovering who they were, but each had strengths they built on en route to the 2024 postseason, in which all three won at least one series.One year later, not only are those three squads all playing like they’re ready to get back to the playoffs, but they’re also joined by another division counterpart in the scorching-hot Minnesota Twins, who had won nine straight entering the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader vs. Baltimore. What’s more, the Central appears to be the home of the best team in the American League. […]
Rockies are worst team in MLB history through 42 games, and it can get worse
<!--> With a loss on Tuesday night, the Rockies’ record now stands at 7-35. Reaching that 35th defeat after 42 games puts the Rockies in historic territory, as they’re the fastest-ever to 35 losses in a season. The previous quickest to get there was the 1904 Washington Senators, who lost their 35th 45 games in, after they had already won their eighth contest of an excruciatingly long season.If the Rockies don’t turn things around in a hurry, you’re going to be hearing a lot about the 1904 Senators for the next couple of months. That’s because the Senators, with a brief interruption, are one of the standard-bearers for "worst record through X" games, starting with the 43rd of the season up to the 91st, at which point a different team well over a century old becomes the stick against which […]

PGA Championship: Why all the hate for Quail Hollow — the ‘Kardashian’ of golf courses?
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — At almost every golf tournament, there’s an undercurrent that runs parallel to the actual event: the grousing and griping about the course at hand. Yes, even though they play the finest courses on earth, pros grumble about the setup, the greens, the rough … you name an element of a tournament golf course, and somebody has a problem with it. (You can probably guess the one course that nobody dares to criticize.)The carping — reinforced by the echo chamber that is Golf Twitter — has hit a new high this week at Quail Hollow, site of this week's PGA Championship, and since this is a major, the cuts slice a little deeper.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“I guess I would say Quail Hollow is like a Kardashian,” Mahan told The Athletic. “It’s very modern, beautiful and well-kept. But it lacks a soul […]
