Home Run Derby predictions
Robert is the winner of this one. Let’s go, chalk. Arozarena and Garcia could take advantage of the shootout potential, then traipse through the first round against Rutschman. It seems that Robert could be tired, guys. Competition is heated when it comes to making their own history. Betts, Guerrero, Rodriguez, and Alonso are all serious contenders, making the bracket on the right side look like an attrition of war. (@SkiverK9) Skiver Kevin.
Garcia could be primed to put on a show in the competition. He has built a swing that has as much raw power as anyone in this derby, and his exit velocity and average both rank in the 90th percentiles. This year, he’s ranking in the top 10% for hard-hit and barrel rates. In every ballpark in the majors, Garcia’s home runs from a season ago would have been absolute blisters.
Alonso: It’s difficult to pick against Polar Bear, but at the end of the day, Garcia may give Alonso a run for his money. Garcia Adolis seems like a nice sleeper pick on the other side of the wide-open bracket. It’s hard to bet against Rodriguez Julio, given his track record, but Alonso may have the advantage of home-field. It seems likely that Pete Alonso will be the winner of the rematch against Rodriguez. Rodriguez will likely make it through to the final.
Home Run Derby odds
Arozarena and Rutschman, youthful power hitters, and newcomer Betts are the underdogs. Garcia and Rodriguez, Robert, Guerrero, and Alonso have reasonable chances. Currently, it is him against all other competitors, and Alonso is the frontrunner to secure his third victory in the Home Run Derby.
