The 2016 home run derby will take place on Monday at Petco Park in San Diego. This park is rather small when you compare it to other parks, as centerfield is the furthest it gets at 396 feet, so we should see a lot of bombs.

According to Bovada (www.Bovada.lv, Twitter: @BovadaLV), ace pitcher, not hitter, Madison Bumgarner is at 10 to 1 odds of being in the Home Run Derby:Will Madison Bumgarner be in the 2016 Home Run. The 2016 T-Mobile Home Run Derby will take place Monday night, where it has an 8:00 p.m. Start time and it will be televised nationally on ESPN. Below are the betting odds for each of the eight.

The betting lines are out for this event, so let’s take a look at the participants and try to make some money during the All Star break.

Mark Trumbo, Baltimore - Mark Trumbo leads the way with 28 homers and has hit five in the month of July alone. Trumbo heads into the event on fire to say the least. Trumbo has one home run in 54 plate appearances at Petco Park. Trumbo comes with odds of +400.

Todd Frazier, Chicago - Todd Frazier has 25 homers and has hit nine of them since the beginning of June. Of course, Frazier is the defending champion having won this event last year. Frazier has two home runs in 51 plate appearances at Petco Park. Frazier has odds of +470.

Adam Duvall, Cincinnati - Adam Duvall has 23 bombs this season and has hit 10 of those since June. Duvall has come out of nowhere in terms of power, as he had just eight homers in his first 55 games. Duvall has never hit in Petco Park. Duvall has odds of +600 to win the tournament.

Robinson Cano, Seattle - Robinson Cano has 20 homers on the season but just five since June. However, you can’t overlook this participant considering Cano was a home run derby champion back in 2011. Cano has two home runs in 39 plate appearances at Petco Park. Cano comes with odds of +810.

Giancarlo Stanton, Miami - Giancarlo Stanton has 20 homers on the season and five of those have come in July. Stanton also has the most power by far of any player in this event and possibly the sport overall. Stanton has five home runs in 60 plate appearances at Petco Park. Stanton has odds of +370 to win this event.

Wil Myers, San Diego - Wil Myers has 19 home runs on the season and hit 11 of them in the month of June. Of course, Myers will have an extra boost of confidence with the home crowd cheering him on. Myers has 16 home runs in 335 plate appearances at Petco Park. Myers has odds of +600 to win this event.

Carlos Gonzalez, Colorado - Carlos Gonzalez has 18 homers on the season, but has yet to hit a bomb this month. Gonzalez has a lot of experience playing in San Diego, so he should be very comfortable in this park, giving him an advantage over others. Gonzalez has six home runs in 210 plate appearances at Petco Park. Gonzalez comes with odds of +700 to win this event.

Corey Seager, Los Angeles - Corey Seager has 17 home runs this season and hit eight of them in the month of June. Seager has 21 career homers in under 450 at bats, so the 22-year-old clearly has some pop that can’t be underestimated. Seager has zero home runs in 49 plate appearances at Petco Park. Seager has odds of +800 to win this event.

Nobody in this event has more power than Stanton, and the fact you get more time if you hit a bomb of 440 feet or greater, the Marlin could be hitting for a very long time. The best power hitter doesn’t always win these events, but there’s no doubting that he should win the derby if him and his pitcher are on the same page.

I’ll also take a long shot on Cano considering he he’s won the derby once and knows how you have to pace yourself if he hopes to walk away with the trophy. Cano also has by far more power than he’s shown lately.

Good luck out there.

2016 Home Run Derby Odds For Today

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a Sports Chat Place site consensus.

The two-year bracket format for the MLB Home Run Derby might lend itself to an improbable champion, if Todd Frazier’s triumph in 2015 is any indication.

The Miami Marlins’ Giancarlo Stanton and the Baltimore Orioles’ Mark Trumbo top the Home Run Derby odds board at +300 and +375, respectively, at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com for Monday’s showdown at PETCO Park in San Diego.

It’s easy to see why. Players get an additional minute on top of their allotted five minutes if they hit two home runs that travel farther than 420 feet. Ten of Stanton’s 20 homers this season have traveled farther than 420 feet, and Trumbo also has 10 that have met that threshold. The two sluggers could potentially meet in the semifinal.

Wil Myers, of the hometown San Diego Padres, is listed at +550. The aforementioned Frazier is at +600, along with the Cincinnati Reds’ Adam Duvall, with the Seattle Mariners’ Robinson Cano (+1000), Colorado Rockies’ Carlos Gonzalez (+800) and Los Angeles Dodgers’ Corey Seager (+900) trailing on that baseball betting prop.

The timing rules make the Derby an endurance contest. And, of course, PETCO Park is MLB’s third most extreme pitcher-friendly stadium (according to parkfactors.com) thanks to its distant power alleys and the heavy sea air. However, an average of 2.24 HR/game have been hit there this season, in line with the National League’s 2.20 average.

2016 Home Run Derby Odds

As the MLB home run leader and top seed, Trumbo is the -175 favorite in his quarter-final against Seager, who is listed at +145. For whatever it is worth, Trumbo has only one home run in 12 career games at PETCO, but Seager has yet to homer in 49 career times at bat in San Diego.

Stanton has a -175 line to defeat Cano, who is listed at +135, in their matchup. Stanton’s average true distance of 421.8 feet on his homers is the longest of any player with at least 15 homers this season. Cano could have an edge in stamina, which helped win the Home Run Derby in 2011.

Myers, owing to the home-park factor, is listed at -150 against Duvall at +110. Myers has actually been beastlier at PETCO, with a 1.036 home OPS vs. .706 on the road. Duvall, a first-time all-star, will have to adapt from his hitter-friendly confines in Cincinnati.

The second-seeded Frazier is a mild -140 favorite against even-money Gonzalez. Back-to-back champions are rare; Yoenis Cespedes did it in 2013-14, but he was the first since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1998-99. Gonzalez averages 420.9 feet on his homers, second among players with at least 15. However, he has only six home runs in 192 career at-bats at PETCO Park.
