ATLANTA — A few days before he stepped to the plate for Monday’s Home Run Derby, Minnesota Twins All-Star Byron Buxton got two hits in a win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. But that wasn’t enough for a gambler who watched him best Paul Skenes.

Skenes is guaranteed to face Judge in the top of the first inning, and he'll see MLB home run leader and Home Run Derby champion Cal Raleigh if the AL can get four batters to the plate. Skubal, meanwhile, will be greeted by Ohtani and then will face Acuña, the Braves star who will have the crowd on his side.

Raleigh will become the second-ever player to switch hit in the Derby ( Adley Rutschman in 2023, lost 2nd round), plus no catcher has ever won the derby. This is year 39 of the event, so odds are against Raleigh despite him being the favorite.
