theScore Bet special: Can anyone break Vladdy's Home Run Derby record?
The 2023 Home Run Derby kicks off Monday evening from T-Mobile Park in Seattle with eight of MLB's best sluggers vying for the long-ball crown.
One of the competitors is Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who holds the record for most home runs hit in a single Home Run Derby with 91. He set that astounding mark when he finished runner-up to Pete Alonso of the New York Mets in 2019.
Ninety-one dingers is a lot - it's 10 more than the next-highest total, which Julio Rodriguez set last season. But will the mark stand for another year?
theScore Bet is offering a special market on if Guerrero's record will be tied or broken Monday at +2500 (bet $100, win $2,500).
| Market | Odds |
|---|---|
| Any player to tie or break Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s record of 91 total home runs (all rounds) | +2500 |

Guerrero, Rodriguez, and Alonso are the only three competitors in this year's field with Home Run Derby experience. The trio also holds the top three spots for most homers hit in a single event all time. Alonso sits third with 74 behind Guerrero's 91 and Rodriguez's 81.
Mookie Betts, Luis Robert Jr., Adolis Garcia, Randy Arozarena, and Adley Rutschman round out the eight-man field.
Guerrero's total isn't the only derby record that could fall. Alonso's single matchup total of 35 is posted at +2000 to be tied or broken, and you can also bet on if anyone will clip Juan Soto's record for longest home run hit, which is a whopping 520 feet.
| Market | Odds |
|---|---|
| Any player to tie or break Pete Alonso's record of 35 home runs in a single matchup (regulation time + bonus) | +2000 |
| Any player to tie or break Juan Soto's Home Run Derby distance record of 520 feet (2017) | +4000 |
