2021 Home Run Derby: Broadcast info, odds

Pete Alonso will try to defend his 2019 Home Run Derby crown this year. 

It’s hard to believe, but Pete Alonso won the last Home Run Derby two years ago. Because of the pandemic, there was no All-Star Game or Home Run Derby last year. Thankfully, the events are back this summer.

The stars are headed to Denver, home of the Rockies. There will reportedly be no humidor in use, so we expect the balls to be flying high and far with some of the biggest bombers in the game taking aim at a championship.

Can Alonso retain his title or will someone else — perhaps Shohei Ohtani — take the crown? We’ll find out tonight!
