- CASE FOR (boosted to +100, see below): Judge is set at RBIs and homers (leads the AL by 23!) and is decimal points ahead of Xander Bogaerts at .317. Judge is scorching at the plate, hitting .500 (22-for-44) since Sept. 8. The Yankees are not in a pennant race and could shut him down to protect a lead.
- CASE AGAINST: With 14 games to play, the Yanks face 10 AL East foes. The familiarity could give the pitchers an edge.
