Burns: "Pujols Home Run Derby Biggest Matchup Win I Ever Seen for the Book by a Landslide"
Sportsbook manager at BetOnline, Adam Burns, is calling Albert Pujols upset over Kyle Schwarber easily "the biggest matchup win" in an MLB Home Run Derby.
Pujols, at 42, was the oldest player to ever take part in the MLB Home Run Derby and he pulled off one of the greatest upsets in the event's history that ended in a tiebreaker versus Schwarber (13 apiece) in the first round of the Home Run Derby at Dodger Stadium. The final score was 20-19.

Ahead of this year's Home Run Derby, Gambling911.com reported on how Pujols was getting no love. He paid nearly $30 for every $10 bet.
