Can anyone steal the show from Ohtani at the Home Run Derby?

‍

Ohtani’s 32 home runs not only lead the Majors this year, but are already the most in a single season by a Japanese-born player… and that’s exactly why he’s the odds-on favourite at +350.

But if you’re looking for real value, look no further than the reigning champ, Pete Alonso.

Sure, he only has 15 homers this season, which is as many as Ohtani has in his last 20 games alone…but Alonso has three dingers in just 24 plate appearances at Coors Field…and he knows precisely what cadence it’ll take to become the third repeat winner at the Derby.

And with the stadium being at elevation, expect the balls to be flying out of the park. So, don’t be surprised if Juan Soto flexes his power and his ‘Soto Shuffle’ after blasting the longest bomb of the night.

So, here are the picks:

• Take Alonso to win it all at +525
• Soto to hit the longest homer at +750
