pete alonso derby

Las Vegas - Gonna get to the winner of the Home Run Derby in a second, but if you wanna know who has the coolest bats, Pete Alonso is off the charts. He has a bunch of bats designed by artist Gregory Siff that kinda tell the story of his life. There are phrases like Family First, Truth, Beauty, Love, Baseball, LFGM and 'Molon Labe,' a Greek phrase meaning 'come and take them' stemming from Alonso's love of the movie "300." If you're wondering about the LFGM, it's Lets, (bad word), Go, Mets! You can probably figure out the bad word. The Polar Bear used a painted bat to win the 2019 Derby, just like Bryce Harper did in 2018. So, where to ship my cash? Woulda thrown down some chips on Shohei Ohtani, but already bought a ticket on him to win the MVP at 30/1, so will look at the other seven. Not gonna push all my chips into the center of the table, but gotta tickle Alonso and his painted bats, and Texas slugger Joey Gallo. Probably my biggest push will be the kid from Washington, Juan 'Childish Bambino' Soto. Like his smile, like his flair, LOVE his nickname, and also like his LAUNCH ANGLE!

Here are the latest odds. Show Hey is the favorite at 5/2, followed by Gallo at 3/1, Alonso at 7/2, Matt Olson at 5/1, Trevor Story at 7/1, Soto at 8/1, with Trey Mancini and Salvador Perez rounding out the field, both at 10/1.

Also have the first round matchups for you. Ohtani (-$180) vs. Soto (+$160), Alonso (-$200) vs. Perez (+$170), Gallo (-$180) vs. Story (+$160) and Olson (-$200) vs. Mancini (+$170).
