Best Batter Today

Aaron Judge and Juan Soto of the Yankees remain 1-2 respectively in the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings. Judge homered and Soto drew a walk in a 3-0 win over the Tigers. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Blue Jays stays in third place despite an 0 for 5 in a 6-5, ten inning Cubs win. Bobby Witt Jr. of the Royals gains on the leaders after a three for four with a double and a home run in a 7-1 win over the Reds. Witt stands second in a close race for extra-base hits and total bases to Judge. Yordan Alvarez of the Astros rounds out the top five. He posted a one for four in a 5-4 White Sox win.

For the White Sox, Luis Robert Jr.went four for five with two home runs and four RBI for the best game score of the day, an 86. Robert’s .212/.272/.424 slash line and injuries is a part of the reason for the poor White Sox performance this season. If he can have more games like this, maybe Chicago won’t finish with a worse winning percentage than the Mets.
