Pujols, at 42, was the oldest player to ever take part in the MLB Home Run Derby and he pulled off one of the greatest upsets in the event's history that ended in a tiebreaker versus Schwarber (13 apiece) in the first round of the Home Run Derby at Dodger Stadium. The final score was 20-19. 

Ahead of this year's Home Run Derby, Gambling911.com reported on how Pujols was getting no love.  He paid nearly $30 for every $10 bet.

Round 1 Matchups:

Kyle Schwarber -350

Albert Pujols +275
