2022 Home Run Derby Prediction & Pick

Picking Pete Alonso to win his third consecutive Home Run Derby will be a popular and trendy pick, but the value at +185 with a very talented roster in this year's contest causes some pause. For that reason, Juan Soto will be the pick here. The young superstar had a very slow start to his 202 campaign but has really turned things up recently. his lefty bat profiles well at Dodger Stadium and has a swing built for hitting bombs. Soto has 5 home runs in his last 10 games heading into the contest. With just as much raw power as Alonso, Soto at +650 is my play here.

Bet Juan Soto to win (+650).
