Here is how you can bet on the 2016 Home Run Derby.

Everybody loves to have a little skin in the game. The Home Run Derby may not have two teams pitted against each other, but that makes it even better for betting. Why? Because you can go on the individual round and the overall winner, along with a litany of over/unders.

The easiest way to bet would be BOVADA.com, where there are all kinds of fun prop bets. The favorite going into the tournament is Giancarlo Stanton, who pulverizes baseballs to a disturbing degree. Then there is Todd Frazier, who won the Home Run Derby last year when he was with the Cincinnati Reds (Frazier is now the third baseman for the Chicago White Sox).

Here are the odds for each hitter:

Giancarlo Stanton: -325
Mark Trumbo: -375
Wil Myers: -550
Todd Frazier: -600
Adam Duvall: -600
Robinson Cano: -800
Carlos Gonzalez: -800
Corey Seager: -900

Duvall is the public’s underdog, with his season flying under the radar in Cincinnati. Meanwhile, Cano and Frazier have already won titles while Myers is the hometown favorite as he plays for the San Diego Padres.

The event will be taking place on Monday night at Petco Park, in one of the hardest stadiums to jack a baseball out of.
