    Is Alvarez a good pick to win the home run derby?

    This is who I am thinking about taking. Looked at all the posts here, most have said Fielder, Cano, and Davis. So I've ruled those 3 out.

    I don't have the numbers, but just gut reaction is that 1st timers rarely do well in these things.

    Advantage to left handed hitters @ Citi 10 ft. shorter in the right center alley and 5 ft shorter down the line. Wind currently blowing in from left @ 9 forecast to be from left field corner to 1B later and diminishing. That computes to about 14 ft and 9 ft advantage for left handed hitters here.

    That being said betting on this shit is not a real good use of your resources

    Goat I'd bet on Alvarez to eat 10 burritos before I take him to hit 10 Hrs in this derby no offense, and Davis' swing is seem-less. I'd take Cuddyer over Alvarez @ that price. Besides you guys really need to bet on the HR derby perhaps the most variant of all props, why not make the investment with the best return in what is a subjective outcome.

    Ima take a pass on this shit. Think I will put a couple of ice cubes between Mrs. Billysinks shoulder blades and bet on which one winds up in the krak of her ass first. Chase the second one downtown and call it a night. Forgo the HR derby for some HRA for those of you scoring at home.

    Good luck with your plays lads.
