Ever since returning from injury, Aaron Judge has been in excellent form. During the month of May, he helped lead the New York Yankees as they recovered from their bad season start. His top-level individual performances have led to some big wins for the team. Now, Judge will hope to continue that form as the Yankees play an away series they haven’t played since 2019.
Most recently, almost all MLB teams who have played against the Yanks, have found it difficult to stop the in-form Yankees’ captain from the plate. In fact, the Seattle Mariners used a smart but cowardly tactic against him. Judge will now look to continue batting well as the Yankees play this away series after 4 years.

The Yankees’ captain will look forward to this series as he hopes to get some big wins. They just won a series against the Mariners and building on that momentum would be a good move. It will be interesting to see how Judge and the Yankees fare at Dodger Stadium.
Will the Yankees emulate their 2019 away series against the Dodgers?
When the Bronx Bombers took on the Dodgers in 2019, they came away with a 2-1 series victory. In their upcoming 3-game bout, the Yankees will look to get similar results or perform better. The Dodgers have won 5 of their last 10 games but will be tough opposition for the Bombers.
