The Giants, at least according to one sportsbook, are the favorites to sign slugger Aaron Judge.
BetOnline.ag shifted its odds Thursday to make the Giants a -130 favorite to land Judge, unseating the incumbent Yankees. New York’s line, per BetOnline, is set at -110, making the two clubs’ odds a virtual toss-up.
Notably, the Giants and Yankees are the only two teams listed in BetOnline’s prop, signaling that their oddsmakers view the Judge sweepstakes as truly a two-horse race.
That’s consistent with some recent reporting from MLB insiders. MLB Network’s Jon Morosi said Thursday that he’d put the odds “very close to 50-50.”
“If the Giants really step up and get that AAV up closer to $40 million a year, there’s a legitimate chance that Aaron Judge becomes a San Francisco Giant,” Morosi said on MLB Network Hot Stove.
