Best Bets for the MLB Home Run Derby

The Inside the Lines team has a hot streak, gaining +27.65 units over the last 16 days on home run bets! Here are some of the standout picks:

Winning Nationality: USA -205

Five of the eight competitors hail from the United States. While Oneil Cruz has impressive exit velocity, his game-time home run production lags behind his peers. Given the depth of American talent, betting on the USA seems a solid choice.

Oneil Cruz to Record the Highest Exit Velocity: +115

Cruz set the record for the highest exit velocity at 122.9 mph and leads with the best average exit velocity. Securing a bet on him at plus money offers great value based on his power potential.

Jazz Chisholm Under 17.5 Round 1 Home Runs (+100)

Chisholm’s recent oblique injury makes his participation surprising. The Yankees might advise him to hold back, making this under bet backed by health concerns a sensible one.

James Wood Over 20.5 Round 1 Home Runs (+100)

With several players exceeding 21 home runs in previous rounds and the warm Atlanta weather aiding ball travel, Wood’s youth and familiarity with the stadium make this an encouraging over bet.
