Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates has been made an 8-1 long shot to win Monday’s Home Run Derby at Sportsbook.

Carrie Stroup of Gambling911.com:

McCutchen is certainly the underdog in this event as the replacement for injured Giancarlo Stanton. He has never hit more than 23 homers in a season, but he is shattering that pace this season with 18 bombs at the Break. McCutchen’s career HR rate on the road is a mere 1 HR per 29.5 at-bats.

Season Home Runs: 18

Career Home Runs: 69

Career at Kauffman Stadium: 0 AB

The payout on a McCutchen Home Run Derby victory: $80 for every $10 bet or $800 for every $100 bet.
