Home Run Derby Odds – Major League Baseball Predictions

For those baseball betting fans out there who need a fix, we’ve got one for you Monday night.

What better way to get through the baseball All-Star break than by betting on who’ll win the 2010 Home Run Derby?

Here are some of the favorites:

Miguel Cabrera (+250): After an embarrassing ending to the 2009 season, Cabrera promised to be a changed man coming into this campaign, and boy has he ever.

The 27-year-old Venezuelan is in the chase of the American League Triple Crown, as he leads his league in batting average (.346) and RBI (77), while also belting 22 home runs.

Maybe what’s most impressive is that Cabrera is putting up these numbers in one of the most pitcher friendly ballparks in baseball.

Imagine what’ll happen Monday when he sees the short porch at Anaheim Stadium on Monday night?

There’s a reason the oddsmakers like Cabrera to win Monday’s Home Run Derby. Make him your bet today!

David Ortiz (+300): After everyone left Big Papi for dead earlier in the season, here comes the Dominican star, leading the Red Sox with 18 home runs heading into the All-Star break.

And impressive as that number is, remember, Ortiz only hit one bomb in April, meaning that he’s been on a tear of late, including a home run Sunday to close out the first half of his season with a bang.

Believe it or not, this will be Ortiz’s first Home Run Derby since 2006, when he finished in fourth.

Matt Holliday (+350): Speaking of returning to the Home Run Derby, this will be Holliday’s first since 2007, when he finished tied for third behind winner Vlad Guerrero as well as Alex Rios.

While Holliday sometimes gets lost in St. Louis behind Albert Pujols, baseball wagering fans know that he comes into this competition on fire.

Holliday has hit five home runs in his last six games, making him a solid sleeper pick Monday night.

Corey Hart (+500): Looking for a true sleeper? How about Corey Hart, who is currently tied for second in the National League with 21 home runs.

Hart is a free swinger in every sense of the word, and after a dismal 2009 season, he’s bounced back big time, leading Milwaukee with 65 RBI to go along with those 21 bombs.

He’ll look to be the second straight Brewer to take home the crown, after Prince Fielder won the title last year.

Nick Swisher (+650): The Yankees outfielder was the last man named to the American League All-Star team, after getting in by the fans vote late last week.

He’s got 15 home runs on the season after belting 29 last year. He’s hit at least 20 five years in a row.

Vernon Wells (+650): After a torrid start that saw Wells hit five home runs in the first three games of the season and eight in April, the Blue Jays outfielder hasn’t hit one in his last 12 games.

This will be Wells first ever participation in a Home Run Derby.

Chris Young (+800) and Hanley Ramirez (+1000) round out the field of eight for Monday night.
