Host Adam Burke is a big fan of the Home Run Derby because it represents something different and the chance to feel like a kid again watching baseball. The daily grind is all about the business side of the spectrum, but the Derby is a whole lot of fun to follow. It can be a lot of fun to bet as well, which is why Adam broke down the important stats and some things on the first-round matchups for tonight’s event. He also gave his pick to win. After doing all things Derby, Adam looked at some really interesting stats from the first half of the season, including lots of stuff on the Mariners, Orioles, and Yankees. He talked about underachieving and overachieving offenses, records in one-run games and with leads after five innings, and a whole lot more. Lastly, Adam did an overview of the Trade Deadline and talked about what he expects to see as teams complete their transactions.
