Home Run Derby Baseball Odds and Predictions

With everyone hitting lots of home runs, it may seem like the Derby field would be as open as you can. First, you have to take under consideration the ball park, and every one of the player’s history in that particular park. This year’s game is in Washington therefore the clear favorite would be Washington Nationals slugger Bryce Harper. It has not been a great season for Harper concerning batting average, but he is still among the league leaders in home runs. Harper has said that he will participate in the Home Run Derby if he gets the All-Star team. “So count me in for the Derby if and only if I make the team,” Harper said to the Washington Post. “However, if I do I’ll be a participant at the 2019 HR Derby.”
Another player to consider in the Home Run Derby when he is chosen would be rookie Juan Soto of the Nationals. He’s shown outstanding power this season and has moved to the cleanup spot in the lineup for Washington. He hit a home run across the next deck in Nationals Park earlier this year.
If you’re looking beyond both hometown heroes, then you may choose to think about players that have played Nationals Park over only a few times. J.D. Martinez leads the American League in home runs and that he played at the National League until last year. He could be a good alternative when he chooses to engage. And don’t forget about Jesus Aguilar of the Brewers, as he’s just behind Harper for the lead in National League home runs and youthful star Ozzie Albies of the Braves who’s making his mark this year.
