The MLB Home Run Derby has always been the most anticipated event for fans during MLB All Star Week as it is awesome to watch and most of the game’s top sluggers almost always participate as opposed to the NBA Slam Dunk contest, for comparison, as the top NBA players in the game usually decline offers. The Home Run Derby is must see TV and placing a little betting action on it at Bovada Sportsbook only serves to make for an even more enjoyable night in our eyes.
The Home Run Derby format has changed over the years but we really like what MLB has done with the Derby format since 2015. The Derby has 8 players that participate but they are now matchup up against one opponent in four 1st round matchups. Each player has 5 minutes to blast as many home runs as possible without the need to worry about “outs” as the Derby now does not count “outs” and strictly give each player 5 minutes to do their business. After each player has 5 minutes the player with the most home runs wins the round and advances to the next round. That continues until the final round where every player is eliminated but the champion. If a tie occurs in any round, both players in the round get 90 seconds of overtime to blast as many home runs as possible to settle the tie.
The first round matchups for the 2017 MLB Home Run Derby have Giancarlo Stanton a -300 favorite over +215 underdog Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge -300 favorite over +215 underdog Justin Bour, Miguel Sanó -150 over +115 underdog Mike Moustakis and Cody Bellinger -165 over +125 Charlie Blackmon. NSAwins.com’s top MLB handicapping experts have analyzed the field and the consensus picks to win each first round matchup are as follows: Stanton over Sanchez, Judge over Bour, Moustakis over Sanó and Blackmon over Bellinger.
