I’m pretty much on the market here, but I certainly lean toward the Under, given the spot. I’m not sure how effective the sluggish Yankees offense will be, which is the big driver for this one. We’ve already mentioned the impressive metrics surrounding Henderson in a limited sample. Beyond that, though, the Brewers' bullpen, with a collective 1.33 WHIP and 3.46 ERA, is well rested.
There’s a bit of an element of fatigue at play here, surely, with the Yankees playing their ninth game in nine days. There’s also the aspect of rebounding quickly after essentially a choke last night. And, certainly not least, there’s the aspect of Carlos Rodon making his season debut after not being exactly a picture of consistency last season. Add it up, and I make this a coin flip. I’d play the Brewers to -105.
Logan Henderson throws his four-seam fastball nearly half the time. That is dangerous against Judge, who is slugging .692 against four-seamers this season while continuing to produce elite hard-contact numbers.
Judge saw his six-game hitting streak snapped last night, but has strong value at plus money to record two total bases.
