Odds to win the 2012 Home Run Derby

Jose Bautista, Blue Jays: 7/2
Giancarlo Stanton, Marlins: 4/1
Prince Fielder, Tigers: 5/1
Robinson Cano, Yankees: 11/2
Carlos Beltran, Cardinals: 11/2
Matt Kemp, Dodgers: 6/1
Mark Trumbo, Angels: 6/1
Carlos Gonzalez, Rockies: 13/2

Keep in mind, of course, that these aren't so much predictions as they are numbers designed to prompt betting action. It's nonetheless interesting to see that Stanton, who seems to be the informal favorite, is a hair behind Bautista, who had a somewhat disappointing showing at last year's derby.

So who's your (literal or figurative) money on?
