Real or not? Forget Aaron Judge, Khris Davis is your new AL home run king

For the first time since May 27, Aaron Judge does not sit atop the American League's home run leaderboard. That's because the Oakland Athletics' Khris Davis homered in a 3-1 victory over the Angels.

It's not a surprise that Davis now leads the league with his 39 home runs. After all, he hit 42 last season for the A's after coming over from the Brewers in what has turned into a steal of a deal for Oakland. Davis, a 5-foot-10 left fielder with a bodybuilder's physique, is a prototype of today's all-or-nothing slugger.
