State Farm Home Run Derby - Odds to Win
Jose Bautista 11/4: He is red hot right now, nailing seven home runs in his past ten games. Bautista currently leads MLB with 31 home runs.
Prince Fielder 7/2: Named the captain of the National League Home Run Derby squad, Fielder blasted his 22nd home run Tuesday off Zach Duke.
Matt Holliday 9/2: Despite missing some games due to injury, Holliday has thirteen home runs, including four in his last nine games.
David Ortiz 19/4: Ortiz blasted two home runs in the past week, but might have the lingering suspension in the back of his mind.
Adrian Gonzalez 11/2: Even though he has seventeen home runs and leads the league with a .387 batting average, issues with a stiff neck might keep him from a top performance.
Matt Kemp 7/1: Even though Kemp has twenty-two home runs, he has only hit the ball out of the park twice in his last 24 games.
Robinson Cano 17/2: He was killing the ball early in the season; but his blast on Thursday was his first since June 15th.
Rickie Weeks 12/1: Weeks has been very disappointing in July with an average of only .212, but he still has belted three homers in that stretch.
