Home Run Derby

Anybody betting on the Home Run Derby? If so, place your picks below.  

I personally like:

Kyle Schwarber to make Derby Finals +135

Remeber, this year 1st round has no time limit and no outs. Each slugger gets 20 pitches to show what they’re made of and Top 4 advance. 

Semi-final round is a H2H (1v4 and 2v3) competition with each batter getting 15 pitches. Best man in each pairing advances to Finals where each batter receives another 15 pitches. Higher total wins the competition. 

Keep in mind if a player hits a HR on their last swing in any round, they keep swinging for the fences until they fail to hit a HR.

Adding Munetaka Murakami 1st Round HR under 9.5 -115

Last year cal won as the favorite.  Year before was teoscar +1100 way down the list .. should be fun

 ¡Hola hermano, aun en mi libro no publican los logros de este evento pero por estadística e intuición me agrada para ganar Junio Caminero(TAMPA). Es difícil este año predecir el ganador del evento, pero con la fuerza que batea la pelota, la velocidad del swing, la juventud y está "ON FIRE"(13 home run últimos 18 juegos). Según las métricas publicadas por statcast debería llegar al final con Jack Caglianone(KANSAS). Gracias por tu publicación. Un Gran Abrazo desde Venezuela y Bendiciones

Junior 1st Rd +12 HR +210

Bryce 1st Rd +10 HR +122

I like Ben Rice to make the final 4 at +125. With the new format the person pitching to the hitter is really more important than the hitter. As with a limited number of pitches your pitcher needs to be really good at this. So many of the past contests we have seen great home run hitters not go yard for 4 or more swings in a row.

Hola, ¿qué tal, Venezuela? Estaba pensando en seleccionar a Junior para que llegara a la final por algunas de esas mismas razones. Espero que todo esté tranquilo y bien en Venezuela.
