Match-ups (to hit more overall homeruns):

Rickie Weeks over Robinson Cano (+110)
Rickie Weeks straight kills the ball in bp. His role in the Brewer line-up is more of a base hit/set-up role, but he has all kinds of pop when he lets it rip. Cano on the other hand has HR numbers that are a bit bloated from being a lefty in Yankee stadium. Weeks is at 15 while Cano is at 14 home runs, so I'll take the plus money with Rickie all day.

Prince Fielder over Adrian Gonzalez (-145)
Prince Fielder won the home run derby in 2009.. in the same derby Adrian Gonzalez hit only 2 HR and was eliminated in the first round.

HR DERBY WINNER:
Jose Bautista (+200)
Say what you will, but this man has been murdering baseballs for the last season and a half. He's swinging a hot bat right now, hitting for average and ridiculous power. He's not the type of player that will run out of gas either. I think he'll at least make it to the finals and at +200, that's good enough for me!

BOL to all the degenerates wagering tonight!

goodluck but disagree on the cano thing, and the agonz thing... agonz has extreme power to left field, dbacks have a shorter LF wall then RF wall....

cano does not benefit from yankee stadium if you ever seen him hit, his HRs arent lazy fly balls that go into the first row, he is a line driver hitter who hits them in 2nd deck, also he takes BP everyday he and k long call it HR derby BP (he explained in his post game interviews sometimes)...he hits at least 20 balls out every BP to every part of the field.... not being a homer but i think cano will actually win the thing, cano, bautista, agonz are my top 3
