How Much Will I Win If I Bet Joey Gallo to Win the 2021 Home Run Derby?
A $100 bet on Joey Gallo to win the 2021 Home Run Derby will pay out $500.
The Rangers outfielder, who managed to hit 10 homers in his last ten games, definitely has value here as he's super hot coming into this thing. So far he has 23 home runs on the year.
"Everything kind of worked out," Gallo said after hitting two home runs in the Rangers' 5-3 loss to the Tigers on Wednesday. "I made the All-Star team, and I didn't want to do the Derby unless I made the team. I thought it would be fun. How many opportunities do you get?"
In the end he was urged on by his manager and fans alike.
"I know I had to do one, at least," Gallo said. "Things worked out. I made the team. I'm swinging it well. I'm healthy. I don't want to wait too long. I'm still in a Ranger uniform, and I want to do it in a Ranger uniform. And we're in Denver, so it should be fun hitting there."
Gallo has double the odds of Shohei Ohtani (+250) despite being the second favorite along side Pete Alonso.
