Home Run Derby Odds, Season MVP and Cy Young Odds

July 12, 2015

As the major league baseball season reaches its All-Star Game break eyes will focus Monday on the Home Run Derby, Tuesday on the All-Star Game and following that on the rest of the regular season and season ending awards such as the MVP and Cy Young Award in each league.

One Monday, Yoenis Cespedes the two-time defending home run derby champion will not compete. Last season he hit 28 home runs during the derby.

Of the eight participants in the derby, only one has won a derby title before and that is Prince Fielder, who earned the title in 2013 when he played for Detroit.

This year’s favorite to win is Todd Frazier who has hit 25 homers thus far during the regular season for Cincinnati. He is second in the NL behind just Giancarlo Stanton who has a hand injury and cannot participate.
