Aaron Judge and Juan Soto of the Yankees rank one and four respectively in the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings. Judge walked once and Soto twice as pitching dominated again, the Yankees shutting out the Cubs for the second game in a row, 2-0.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Blue Jays holds second place with one for five in a 9-5 win over the Braves. His teammate, Spencer Horwitz did a lot of damage in that game, going four for five with a double and two home runs for a game score of 87, the highest on the Saturday. After a cup of coffee in 2023, Horowitz should wind up playing over half the Jays games in 2024. His strength is getting on base, with a career .354 OBP. Power like last night would be a plus. Note that at seasonal age 26 he is not a prospect, but a player doing well in his prime.

Yordan Alvarez of the Astros contributed to an 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks with a three for five night, including a double. That puts him in third place. Brent Rooker of the Athletic takes fifth place with a one for four in a 2-1 Tigers win.
