To LOSE that is

Go ahead and call me a degenerate. I don't care

My home run derby picks:

C. Utley -520 TO LOSE:
Risking $2000 TO WIN 384.62

J. Hamilton +340 TO WIN:
Risking $647.96 TO WIN 2,203

As long as Utley loses I'll be down about $250 at best which I can deal with at the moment. At best I'll come out with $2,500 :-)

Let me break down the derby:

L. Berkman: Will be batting right-handed. I expect him to make the top 4 because of his experience, but can't match up to the moon shots Hamilton hits in BP

C. Utley: 2nd favorite to win the competition. He has participated in a Single-A home run derby and hit 0 home runs. Admits his line drive approach is not a good formula for this derby

D. Uggla: Actually one of my sleeper in this competition, but very hard for him to win.

R. Braun: A strong favorite with his price. You can get him at +1000 on matchbook.

J. Hamilton: The best BP hitter in this competition, plus the 314 line fits him well. The only negative I see here is he will be having a 71 yr old pitch to him.

G. Sizemore: Another line drive type hitter. Same comments as Utley. 0 home runs in a minor league All-Star game derby.

E. Longoria: -1100 to lose is a sure bet. I'd throw 60,000 on that if I had it in my account.

J. Morneau: Experience home run hitter. Not bad odds at +500.

[ryanXL977]

[Brady2Moss]

I am sure berkman loses I would bet him to lose

make a parlay if possible for a couple to lose

I like dan uggla to be in the finals and possibly win

good luck with the bets hope they cash

[fifawcs]

Good luck. I'm on Morneau and Hamilton to win.

[AmazingAmanda]

I just hope Utley doesn't win - THEN I'm screwed :-)

[EagesBets]

aMAZING AMANDA.. you are like my long lost twin... I love all your plays.. You have a brass pair.. these other guys don't understand

[element1286]

I agree with your analysis, good luck.

I think it comes down to Hamilton, Morneau, and Berkman.

[EagesBets]

i liked braun until I found out his clown agent was throwing him pitches... Now I went back to liking Hamilton and Morneau.. Lefties def gonna win

[TheLock]

Damn is Braun still +1000?

I love the Utley to lose. Pound that crap.

[ryanXL977]

total crapshoot on this one methinks
may as well pick a few dogs for the helluva it

[SBR Lou]

I invested a little bit into Braun at +1100, Amazing Amanda.

I didn't have the marbles to tail you on Hamilton, which means he'll likely win with ease.

[MonkeyF0cker]

You have to like a lefty in this thing don't you? I couldn't bet against Utley in this this thing. Berkman hasn't said whether he'll bat left or right handed. But just because of the design of the park, either Hamilton, Utley, or possibly Berkman would be my picks with maybe Ryan Braun or Grady Sizemore as the longshot. I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy it though. No action for me.

[St. Andrew]

Money!

[smitch124]

what is the tiebreaker...total home run length??

[ryanXL977]

i also went against utley

cashed it

berkman vs hamiltons +175

[zootiehead]

The fact that 3 of the ESPN talking heads picked em was your kiss of death.

[ryanXL977]

nobody is worse or knows less about sports than men who work for espn
these are guys who are good at talking, but they know ZIP about sports

[MonkeyF0cker]

I don't care about the lines. I just dont think he has the consistent power that some of these other guys have...

[ryanXL977]

you dont think morneau does? why not?
