The 2025 Home Run Derby
Tonight, the 2025 MLB All-Star Break continues with the Home Run Derby at Atlanta’s Truist Park, offering fans and bettors a thrilling midsummer showcase. This year’s Derby features a dynamic field, headlined by Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, the league’s home run leader and co-betting favorite.
Raleigh will face stiff competition from power hitters like Oneil Cruz, who is also tied for the lead at MLB betting sites with a +325 moneyline. In third is James Wood at +400, with the odds falling off a cliff for the remaining five competitors.
2025 Home Run Derby Odds To Win
- Oneil Cruz +325
- Cal Raleigh +325
- James Wood +400
- Matt Olson +800
- Byron Buxton +850
- Brent Rooker +850
- Jazz Chisholm Jr. +1200
- Junior Caminero +1100
None of this year’s competitors has won the Home Run Derby before. The following prop bet suggests that Cruz will hit the longest home run tonight in Atlanta.
2025 Home Run Derby – Player to Hit Longest Home Run
- Oneil Cruz +135
- James Wood +325
- Byron Buxton +450
- Cal Raleigh +900
- Matt Olson +900
- Brent Rooker +1100
- Junior Caminero +2000
- Jazz Chisholm Jr. +2200
How many feet will the longest home run of the Derby measure? The latest odds imply that the longest home run will travel a distance of at least 479.5 feet, although gamblers will have to risk more than they can earn on the over and the under.
Distance of Longest Home Run (All Rounds)
- Over 479½ Feet -125
- Under 479½ Feet -105
The longest home run in the history of the Derby was hit by Juan Soto in 2022 when he knocked a ball 520 feet into the upper deck of Coors Field in Denver. Tonight’s atmosphere in Atlanta should keep most balls inside of 500 feet.
The 2025 MLB All-Star Game
The 2025 MLB All-Star Game will begin tomorrow at 8 p.m. It will be the 95th edition of this midsummer classic. Fox will nationally televise the game. Online 18+ sportsbooks are favoring the National League to win by a run-and-a-half.
AL vs. NL All-Star Game Betting Line
- American League +1.5 (-105), -220
- Over: 7.0 (-120)
- National League: -1.5 (-105), +188
- Under: 7.0 (EVEN)
The American League has won ten out of the last eleven All-Star Games, so is betting on the NL a safe wager in 2025? We don’t think so, and we’re backing the underdog this year.
2025 MLB All-Star Game MVP Odds
- Shohei Ohtani +525
- Aaron Judge +625
- Pete Crow-Armstrong +1000
- Ronald Acuna Jr. +1000
- Cal Raleigh +1200
- Bobby Witt Jr. +1800
- Kyle Tucker +2000
- James Wood +2500
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. +2200
- Tarik Skubal +3000
- Francisco Lindor +2800
Leading the odds to win the MLB All-Star MVP is Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Of course, this would assume that the NL is going to win the game. If you believe the AL will come out on top, consider putting your money behind Aaron Judge or Cal Raleigh.
