ODDS via BOL




Plenty of H2H's and other prop wagers as well!

 

[Inspekdah]

It's a new slowed down format, right? No more trying to swing 400 times. Pete 2 years ago mastered that format as he was simply taking more swings than anyone.

Anyone have the deets on the new format?

Pete a big favorite but no one takes it more serious.

Looks like Alonso has highest 1st round total with 25.5.

 

[CPA-hole]

I played Teoscar +1100 and +150 over Gunnar. More of a dart throw. Just remembered how good his BPs were in person. Hoping the slower format helps him.

Does this stadium still favor lefties? I can't keep up like I used to.

Weather will be looked at in a bit

Roof has to be closed, no?

I also forgot they have a roof lol

I'm not sure how that effects ball flight/distance etc. Obviously I know here that an open roof promotes hot shots, not sure about there. So weather is likely a non-factor I guess.

Think there could be some value with Alec Bohm to make semis at +275

Globe Life seems to play a little better for righties, but good for lefties too.

His is throwing for him. Sounds dumb but any edge to a guy that has had pitches thrown to him by his Dad who has done so many times?

I was wayyyy off on thar lol. He has Scott Wingo

 

[Inspekdah]

Alonso I assume has the same guy as 2 years ago? Did something happen last year where it was someone different?

Same pitcher as both times he won. Just older, fatter...like all of us.

Did he not have him the time he lost last year? I forget what happened.

I didn't even realize it was all star weekend til maybe 9 this morning. Asking me about Pete Alonso's pitcher in the HR Derby last year is one of the biggest stretches I've heard today.

Witt over 21.5 1st Round -123 1*
Bohm under 18.5 1st Round 109 1*

Let's do TH!

Yes, he had a different pitcher last time. The guy he’s using tonight was on the mound for his 2nd victory.

It didn’t matter when I woke up, how many naps I took, or anything else that would bring attention to myself…that’s the answer.

Attention seeking adults are the worst of the worst aren’t they?

 

[jedi ninja]

Jose Ramirez is worth a look, especially at that price. He’s like +1100 now too.

 

[jedi ninja]

Incorrect. He was on the mound for Alonso’s second victory only.

From everything I’ve read today, it favors lefties more than righties but there are only 2 lefties in the derby, with one of them being the switch hitting Ramirez.

Witt ML to Win +400 .5*

 

[B.A.R.]

Witt to make semis -140 (pph)

This is bananas in gambling land

Bobby just got bored with the semis

 

[KJ]

Then he took a big KC shit like KC players do

 

[Ryno14]

Bohm -110 > Hernandez. Hope both get worn out so my Witt +550 can come through easily

 

[KJ]

Bohm -110 > Hernandez. Hope both get worn out so my Witt +550 can come through easily

Like this a lot at this point

 

[Ryno14]

An improvement from last year but this thing is still terrible. Way too long.
