Will Judge even get his 62nd home run?

If the opposing pitchers do not change their narrative toward Aaron Judge, it will be difficult for him to smash his record-breaking 62nd home run. Because apart from one game against the Orioles, the Yankees have only one series left to play this regular season.

And given the fact that pitchers are letting him walk rather than throwing a proper pitch, the Yankees slugger will have to do something out of the box to achieve the record. Only time will tell whether he will hit the 62nd HR.
