New York Mets Slugger Pete Alonso is looking for a three-peat in this year’s Home Run Derby. The 2022 All-Star Game festivals will take place in Los Angeles at the Dodgers home stadium. Alonso has won the past two Home Run Derbys and is looking to make this a “three-Pete.”<\/p>\n

There are going to be some other sluggers in the event this year as Ronald Acuna Jr of the Atlanta Braves is also set to go at it. Kyle Schwarber, Albert Pujols, Corey Seager, Julio Rodriguez, Juan Soto, and Jose Ramirez will join the two National League sluggers in this year’s contest.<\/p>\n

Pete Alonso Has a 52% Chance to Make Home Run Derby Finals<\/h2>\n

Pete Alonso currently has +200 odds<\/a> to win this year’s Home Run Derby and is the favorite by a good margin. He is also a -110<\/a> betting favorite to make the 2022 Home Run Derby finals.<\/p>\n

Considering that he’s been one of the best power hitters in all of baseball the past few years and has won this event the past two years, the odds certainly makes sense. He’s arguably played the best baseball of his career during the first half of this season. He’s currently hitting .265 with 24 home runs.<\/p>\n

Outside of his 2019 season, where he hit 53 home runs, this might be the best that Pete Alonso has ever looked.<\/p>\n
