Loaded HR Derby field lines up to stop Stanton
New rules and a charismatic winner restored the allure of the Home Run Derby last year. Will San Diego receive a similar spectacle tonight?
Eight of baseball’s biggest sluggers, including Giancarlo Stanton and defending champ Todd Frazier, are prepared to batter Petco Park beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET. According to handicappers, place your wager on the strongest swatter of them all. Online sports book Bovada.lv gives Stanton odds of +260 to snag the hardware, while Mark Trumbo (+450) and hometown representative Wil Myers (+550) also factor into the mix.
There’s no question that the favorite is heating up at exactly the right moment. Stanton boasts five dingers in his last 20-odd at-bats, having produced a pair of multi-homer efforts vs. the Mets over the weekend. He’s participating in just his second derby, and 2011 victor Robinson Cano (+1000) won’t be a pushover in the first round. Look for Miami’s right fielder to down the Seattle stalwart, though, potentially setting up a terrific duel with the No. 1 seed.
If Trumbo takes care of business vs. the Dodgers’ Corey Seager (+900), the AL leader in clouts stands to confront Stanton before the finals. Baltimore’s cleanup hitter doesn’t deliver as many tape-measure shots as his potential adversary – which could help from an endurance perspective. Still, we’re radically opposed to the idea of a championship matchup that excludes Big Foot.

The other side of the bracket also contains a lot of intrigue. Frankly, the Myers-Adam Duvall (+600) survivor can pack up his equipment in a hurry. That’s because Frazier’s chances of repeating (+500) are criminally undervalued at the moment. Not only will the offensive leader of the White Sox defeat Carlos Gonzalez (+800) and Myers/Duvall, he’ll push Stanton to the limit.
Again, we reiterate the importance of pacing. Stanton’s the undeniable choice to enrapture the crowd. Nevertheless, we endorse Frazier’s overall demeanor and recent track record.

2016 Home Run Derby Odds For Today
The 2016 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby (known through sponsorship as the T-Mobile Home Run Derby) was a home run hitting contest between eight batters from Major League Baseball (MLB). The derby was held on July 11, 2016, at Petco Park in San Diego, California, the site of the 2016 MLB All-Star Game. On July 8, the participants that will be eligible to participate in the Home Run Derby were announced.[1]Giancarlo Stanton won the Home Run Derby by defeating defending champion Todd Frazier 20–13.[2]
Rules[edit]
Eight players participated in the derby in a bracket-style, single-elimination timed event. Each player had four minutes to hit as many home runs as possible. Hitters were awarded an additional 30 seconds if they hit two home runs over 440 feet (130 m). Hitters were also allowed one 45 second timeout to stop the clock (two in the finals). Homers hit off a T-Mobile Ball during the final minute resulted in a $10,000 donation to charity by T-Mobile & MLB, to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

The eight competing players were seeded 1-8 based on their home run totals. The higher seed hit second in any round, and the round ended if the higher seed surpassed the total of the first hitter. In the event of a tie, the two hitters competed in a one-minute swing-off (with no timeouts nor bonus time awarded). If there remained a tie, each player got three swings; whoever hit more home runs in the three swings would be declared the winner; thereafter, sudden death swings would occur until the tie was broken.[3]
