2024 MLB Home Run Derby Prediction
Pete Alonso will be competing in his fifth-straight HR Derby. He is the betting favorite to win it again this year, but we aren’t going to back him. Marcell Ozuna has the second shortest odds to win the HR Derby this year, but I’m worried about him losing steam in the later rounds. I want to target one of the younger guys with some longer odds…
Gunnar Henderson has the third-shortest odds to win the Home Run Derby. He’s been catching steam for the last 24 hours or so, as he originally had the fifth-shortest odds to win the HR Derby. He has gotten steamed up to the third shortest odds now, tied with Bobby Witt who is the most popular choice tonight. I love seeing Gunnar’s odds get shorter as we approach the contest tonight. He’s looking like the sharpest play in the contest…
The only left-handed hitter in this contest is Gunnar Henderson. We might see Jose Ramirez hit from the left side, but he’s a switch hitter. Gunnar will have an advantage in this contest, because it’s a little easier to hit home runs at Globe Life Field as a left-handed hitter. In a contest like this, we’ll take any advantage we can get.
There’s a reason Gunnar’s odds have caught more steam than anyone else in the contest. Back him in his first ever Home Run Derby on Monday afternoon. I’ll meet you at the cash counter when he shocks the world and wins this contest.
