Julio Rodriguez Has Best Value for 2023 MLB Home Run Derby

• Julio Rodriguez has +400 odds to win the 2023 MLB Home Run Derby after finishing as the runner-up in last year’s event.
• There is valuable +650 odds for Julio Rodriguez to hit the furthest home run in the contest.
• Pete Alonso is the favorite with +325 odds to win his third career MLB Home Run Derby.

SEATTLE – Odds for the 2023 MLB Home Run Derby favor Pete Alonso, but his +325 odds don’t bring as much value as Julio Rodriguez (+400) or Luis Robert Jr. (+500). Julio is the best bet to win the Home Run Derby with +400 odds in his home stadium.

Odds to Win Home Run Derby

• Pete Alonso +325
• Vladimir Guerrero Jr. +375
• Julio Rodriguez +400
• Luis Robert Jr. +500
• Adolis García +700
• Mookie Betts +1100
• Randy Arozarena +1000
• Adley Rutschman +1800

In last year’s Derby, Julio Rodriguez became the first player to ever record consecutive rounds with 30+ home runs to start. Julio ultimately finished as the runner up to Juan Soto, but proved his +400 odds at legal MLB betting sites have value for the 2023 Home Run Derby.

Pete Alonso at +325 lives for the Home Run Derby, but his .218 batting average and recent wrist injury give plenty of reason to take the hometown favorite Julio Rodriguez. Rodriguez will face Pete Alonso in the first round, with the winner taking on either Mookie Betts or Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

With the three players with the shortest legal sports betting odds in the same side of the bracket, bettors should look towards Luis Robert Jr.’s +500 odds to win the Derby. The No. 1 seed shares the same number of homers as Pete Alonso and Mookie Betts, but earned his spot by slugging the highest home run total in the field since June 15.

Player to Hit Longest Home Run Odds

• Vladimir Guerrero Jr. +190
• Luis Robert Jr. +325
• Pete Alonso +325
• Julio Rodriguez +650
• Adolis García+850
• Randy Arozarena +900
• Mookie Betts +1600
• Adley Rutschman +1800

Surprisingly, Adley Rutschman has the longest home run of the field this season at 461 feet but has +1800 odds at Bovada Sportsbook to hold that title on Monday night. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (+190) is favored based on his 476-foot bomb that led the 2019 Home Run Derby in distance.

Once again, Julio Rodriguez has incredible value in his home stadium. Rodriguez’s +650 odds are worth a bet considering he went 463 feet in the 2022 Home Run Derby in Los Angeles and also has the second-longest homer of the field this season at 454 feet.

After launching one of the furthest homers in last year’s event as a rookie, expect Julio to be much more comfortable in Seattle and claim the +650 odds to hit the longest home run of the 2023 MLB Home Run Derby.
