My favorite play is Adolis Garcia (+550).

The Texas Rangers slugger hasn’t possessed the pop he would’ve hoped for this season with just 17 home runs at the unofficial halfway point of the season. Factor in a disappointing performance at last year’s derby and you’ve got a player who provides serious value on the betting market.

Garcia comes alive when the lights are brightest, as he showed during last year’s postseason run. The 31-year-old is a showman at heart and he’ll be eager to avenge last year’s letdown in front of his home crowd. Garcia possesses plenty of power after hitting 39 long balls last season and he’ll have the Texas faithful behind him as he goes for the crown.

Hitting at home provides Garcia with a unique advantage as he knows the ballpark better than his seven opponents. While no contestant has won in front of his home fans since Bryce Harper in 2018, can the Rangers slugger break the streak? He’s my pick to take home the $1 million prize at this year’s event.
