He also became just the fifth player in MLB history to hit 50 or more home runs in three separate seasons. (Related article: Mariners manager Scott Servais fired after mid-season collapse: Report)

The Yankees got off to a somewhat slow start this season, but in the heat of August, they are shaping up to be the best team in baseball, and after this winning streak? Aaron Judge is, well, being Aaron Judge?
There's a good chance these guys will be World Series champions.
