John Smoltz weighs in on Aaron Judge's historic stretch, the Dodgers' roster needs, the surprising AL Central and MLB's showcase at Rickwood Field.
John Smoltz found himself on the receiving end of nine Barry Bonds home runs during his prestigious 21-year career, but the Hall of Fame pitcher did strike out the all-time home run leader in their lone face-off during Bonds' record-setting 73-homer season. In today's game, the closest power equivalent we have is Aaron Judge, who is slugging over .600 since his 2017 Rookie of the Year season and leads MLB this year in homers, RBIs, slugging and OPS.
You look at the two front-runners before the season started, both the Braves and Dodgers have lost a significant pitcher and a significant player. And everyone else seems to be OK when it comes to some of the injuries. Although Philadelphia has had their share of injuries recently, they're getting Trea Turner back. It's kind of a hold, hold, hold, and then cherry-pick a player when one of those teams falls off.
