A lot of the big names in Major League Baseball as far as home run totals aren’t taking part in this year’s Home Run Derby. Aaron Judge is demurring after seeing his skyrocket totals shoot up after last year’s competition. Giancarlo Stanton, Joey Gallo, Mike Trout and some of the biggest bats in MLB are staying home. However, we have Bryce Harper from Washington as the favorite, and seven other hitters who can rake. Take a look at the sports betting odds in what should be a wide-open field, as none of the eight sluggers have ever won a derby before. The MLB betting action gets underway on Monday night at 8:00pm Eastern, on ESPN.
