"The annual Home Run Derby takes place at Chase Field on Monday night, and the league leader in home runs is the oddsmakers&amp;#039; favorite to claim the derby crown.The Blue Jays&amp;#039; Jose Bautista started the season on a torrid home run pace, went through a swoon in June, but has started knocking balls over the fence again over the past two weeks. With the lead in home runs heading into the break, Bautista is the 3/1 favorite at Bovada to come out on top this year.[For a betting preview of this year&amp;#039;s Home Run Derby and All-Star Game click here]Bautista will have to contend with a pair of past derby winners on Monday night &amp;ndash; AL teammate and Red Sox DH David Ortiz, and Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder. Ortiz was the derby champion last season with 32 long balls, and he&amp;#039;s at 9/2 odds for Monday night.
