MLB Home Run Derby on Monday Night
Now that we have full access in Alberta, we can finally bet on the Home Run Derby. Wagering on an outright winner in a field like this is a fantastic way to chase a larger payout. Here is how the oddsmakers currently have the field priced:
- Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber: +340
- Rays’ Junior Caminero: +425
- White Sox Munetaka Murakami: +475
- Royals’ Jac Caglianone: +650
- Cardinals’ Jordan Walker: +650
- Phillies’ Bryce Harper: +850
- Yankees’ Ben Rice: +900
- Red Sox Willson Contreras: +1100
Keep in mind that the format is a bit different this year. There isn’t a timer, and there aren’t any outs. It’s all about the swings per round. There are 20 swings in the first round, followed by 15 swings in the second round and finals. If you happen to homer on your last swing, you get to keep going.
All-Star Game: American League vs. National League
The AL American League will take on the NL National League at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, PA. The game is scheduled for July 14 at 8 pm ET on FOX.
Odds & Analysis
| Bet Type | AL American League | NL National League |
|---|---|---|
| Moneyline | +118 | -140 |
| Total | Over 7.5 | Under 7.5 |
| Runline | +1.5 (-177) | -1.5 (+147) |
Since the AL American League and NL National League operate as exhibition squads for this event, standard seasonal team statistics, offensive trends, and records as favorites or underdogs are tossed out the window. The betting markets have positioned the NL National League as the moneyline favorite at -140, while the AL American League enters as a live underdog at +118.
The runline requires the National League to win by multiple runs to cover the -1.5 spread, which is currently offering a nice pay day at +147. If you are looking at scoring expectations, the consensus total is set at 7.5 runs. Personally, I like to key in on the starting pitching rotations in these exhibition formats to find my edge.
The AL is starting Dylan Cease of the Blue Jays, giving Canadian baseball fans a chance to bet on their ace. He is second in MLB with 148 strikeouts this season. The NL will have Christopher Sanchez on the mound in front of a home crowd.
Bet on the Rest of the World Cup
The action definitely doesn’t stop at the diamond. We’ve also got the rest of the World Cup to handicap. If you want to diversify your betting portfolio, international soccer offers incredibly lucrative markets.
We have a massive slate coming up, featuring France vs. Spain on Tuesday, followed directly by England vs. Argentina on Wednesday. There is nothing better than picking a moneyline winner in a high-stakes international fixture to rapidly build up our bankroll.
France has the best odds to win the tournament at +140. They are followed by Spain (+320), England (+320) and Argentina (+450).
