Baseball’s Triple Crown has only been achieved once in the last 50+ years, yet both Aaron Judge and Marcell Ozuna are within striking distance in the final month. And sportsbooks are offering odds for bettors.
The New York Yankees slugger has +470 odds, as he holds a commanding lead in homers and RBI. He currently sits second in the American League with a .333 batting average, trailing only Bobby Witt of the Kansas City Royals (.344 average).
Ozuna is also threatening in the National League and has +750 odds. He is the current batting leader by one-thousandth of a percentage point and sits one RBI back of Shohei Ohtani for the overall lead. However, he trails Ohtani by seven homers with 25 games remaining.
FanDuel is also offering the “NO” wager. Judge is -770 to miss out on the triple crown, while Ozuna is -1600.
There has only been one triple crown winner since 1968. In 2012, Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera accomplished the feat and also won the AL MVP award.
