MLB Home Run Derby Thread

Should be a fun one! Been looking at some of the Vegas odds and they have Ohtani as the heavy favorite. I'm not sure I agree. Who do you guys look to win it? I'm putting some money on Alonso, Olson and Gallo.

[RobinThicc]

Gallo

[5ToolPhenom]

Here's the complete odds:

 

Ohtani 3.75

Gallo 5.50

Alonso 6.50

Olson 6.50

Perez 9.00

Soto 9.00

Story 11.00

Mancini 11.00

 

A little surprised Soto isn't a little higher. Might be some value with him.

[Laika]

Kind of a s***** derby field after Ohtani and Gallo. Some boring participants. Soto is kind of fun.

[Stangstag]

Ohtani vs Soto round 1 may very well be the most exciting matchup.

It is a little underwhelming isn't it? Perez, Mancini, Olson ETC. I mean sure, they're good power hitters, but not exactly the kind of sensational players that are going to move the needle much. No Judge, no Vladdy ETC

I'm watching MLB Network and Ohtani just hit a 510 foot bomb in batting practice. It hit the Jack Daniels area in the 4th deck.

I was watching on MLBN after he made contact he walked away, like I'm ready!

[Stangstag]

Damn, great job by Mancini after a slow start

[RobinThicc]

Not gonna lie, wouldve loved to see Vlad go off in this stadium.

[RobinThicc]

Gallo's pitcher sucks.

[saskjayfan]

I feel like Mancini had the best pitching.

[Daniel Labude]

Not gonna lie, wouldve loved to see Vlad go off in this stadium.

 

625 ft homers

[connorp]

I’m torn if I want to see Alonso do good or not.

[glory]

Gallo's pitcher might as well have been Dolis with the amount of time he was taking.

[connorp]

Sal should just concede

[Abomination]

Sal should just concede

 

 

Bet Sal wishes he had gone first lol.

[Stangstag]

Alonso jesus make it fair man

[connorp]

Someone should ask him why all these bombs don’t translate to on-field success

[Spanky99]

Alonso's a f***ing beast, how can you omit that guy, Laika?

[RobinThicc]

Perez had a great round

[connorp]

Launch angle seems alright

[Spanky99]

Soto's gassed.

 

520' Holy s***!

[BCZ]

Soto screwing the pooch a bit

[connorp]

Pitching kinda sucked

Can't win this without a good pitcher

[saskjayfan]

soto's pitching was terrible.

[connorp]

Can't win this without a good pitcher

 

Yeah Alonso’s guy helped him get in a rhythm

[connorp]

Yikes

[BCZ]

Omg he can't get it up
