Aaron Judge, a three-time AL MVP, is aiming for his fifth career 50-homer season as the New York Yankees begin their 2026 Major League Baseball campaign against the San Francisco Giants in a Netflix special. This will be the first live MLB game on the streaming service. Judge's milestone was achieved last season with 54 home runs. He joins Babe Ruth, Mark McGwire, and Sammy Sosa as the only players to reach 50 four times. Judge is the +215 favorite for another AL MVP and is also the +350 favorite to lead the majors. The game also marks the first regular-season professional game managed by Giants manager Tony Vitello.
