5 years agoNew York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge will hit second in a struggling lineup as the Yankees will try and stave off elimination against the Astros in Game 5. Judge homered in Game 2 but has failed to make a consistent impact, slugging only .412 in the series. Judge disappointed, at times, against right-handed pitching in the regular season, slashing only .247/.349/.498 in contrast to posting a 1.124 OPS against opposing lefties. The Astros will send their ace, Justin Verlander, to the mound in Game 5. Judge will need to step up in order to extend the series.--Joey C - RotoBaller
