Aaron Judge’s batting average finally nudged below just .400 on Thursday.Â
Oddsmakers aren’t anticipating him to complete any higher than that.Â
Despite hitting .396 through the Yankees’ first 49 games, Judge is a significant long shot to breach the .400 over the complete season, in accordance with DraftKings Sportsbook.Â
Judge is currently +7500 to hit .400 this season, meaning oddsmakers are giving him a 1.32 percent likelihood to perform the feat.
Should you have a look at recent baseball history, it must be no surprise Judge is being given little shot to remain over the .400 mark.
No player has hit .400 over a full season since Ted Williams hit .406 in 1941, but few players have even flirted with the number since then.
Since then, only two players have hit. 390 or higher over a full season, Tony Gwynn in 1994 and George Brett in 1980.Â
Within the twenty first century, only 4 players — Todd Helton, Nomar Garciaparra, Ichiro Suzuki and Barry Bonds — have had a batting average of .370 or higher over a single-season and no player has had one higher than .372.
Oddsmakers are giving Judge a a lot better shot at achieving one other historic feat — winning the American League Triple Crown.
