The New York Yankees earned a thrilling 9-8 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday thanks to a Giancarlo Stanton walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the 9th inning. This late rally began when Aaron Judge hit his 60th home run of the season, bringing him to just 1 home run away from tying Roger Maris’ American League home run record. The Yankees' slugger has a good chance to hit his 61st big fly against the Pirates tonight, and DraftKings Sportsbook is running a great profit boost for Judge to do so.'
Will Aaron Judge tie Roger Maris with 61 home runs tonight?
Needing just 1 more home run to tie this legendary record, Judge will go up against Pirates starter Roansy Contreras on Wednesday. Contreras is 5-4 with a 3.24 ERA across 18 outings this season, while allowing a home run approximately every 8.3 innings pitched. However, the young starter has yet to face Judge in his Major League career. This could be to Judge’s advantage as he shoots for a legendary home run in this one.'
