great question
I just tried to do a little research...Hey, I just got into work on a Monday and I am not ready to work just yet....
Come to find out ESPN has a little write up per Jason Starke but its for insiders only.
If any one has just a list of participants or odds or a write up it would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a look at some of the top contenders in this years Home Run Derby. Betting on the home run derby can be an absolute blast and can also be very profitable as well! You need to take into consideration the ball park, and each participants past in that particular park, in this case Yankee Stadium. Like with any betting proposition, you need to analyze the odds posted on each contender and determine if a wager has any value. Most of the time, the odds on all the participants start around 5/1 and up, so there's the potential for a nice payoff betting on the homerun derby. Once we have the odds for this years Derby, we'll post them and keep them updated right up until the event begins. So be sure to check back!
Josh Hamilton: Odds - 7/2 - Outfielder Josh Hamilton is tied for eleventh for home runs in MLB. His home run trend looks like this: 6 in April than he spiked with slamming 8 in May and ever since then he has tailed off dramatically only blasting 5 and his last digger was on June 17TH. Ever since April 4TH when his slugging percentage hit .688, it has fluctuated with a gradual trend downward to .546 on July 6TH. At Yankee Stadium Hamilton has no ball go out of the yard! Yes he will get his fair share of home runs tonight, but it is not realistic to think he will get 15 in a round.
Dan Uggla: Odds 5/1 - Second baseman Uggla is currently third amongst the home leaders in the league with 23. His home run trend looks like this: 4 in April, then spiked in May hitting a bakers? dozen, 7 in June. His last home run was June 20TH when he tabbed 2. His slugging percentage has steadily risen in the first half of the season from .480 in April to .563 currently with peaks and valleys in the middle. No home runs at Yankee Stadium in his career. Look for him to advance to the second round.
Chase Utley: Odds 4/1- Second baseman Utley is tops in MLB with 25. His home run trend looks like this: 10 in April, 8 in May and just 4 in June, so far 2 this month. His slugging percentage has dropped from .741 to .500 currently. No home runs at Yankee Stadium in his career. Nonetheless, this month?s trend seems to be on the upswing, therefore he might go past the second round.
Lance Berkman: Odds 4/1 - First baseman Berkman has accumulated 22 home runs and is tied for fourth. His home run trend looks like this: 8 in April, 9 in May and just 5 in June. slugging percentage has dropped from .856 in May to a pathetic .217 currently. He has one home run at Yankee Stadium in his career. Don?t look for him to get past the second round at best.
Grady Sizemore: Odds 5/1 - Grady Sizemore has accounted for 22 home runs and is tied for fourth. His home run trend looks like this: 1 home run in March then only a pair in April, picks it up in May hitting 7 and in June he continued the upward to 9. He already has smashed 3 this month. Sizemore?s slugging percentage has significantly risen in the first half of the season from .423 to an overwhelming .947 this month so far. He has one home run at Yankee Stadium in his career. Trends and strength indicate that he ?should? get to the final round.
Ryan Braun: Odds 8/1 - Outfielder Ryan Braun is tied for ninth for home runs with 21 in MLB. His home run trend looks like this: 3 in April, then really unloaded with 11 in May, 6 in June and mysteriously had just 1 since June 17TH. His slugging percentage has been extremely inconsistent in the first half of the season. No home runs at Yankee Stadium in his career. Don?t look for him to get past the first round at best.

Berkman, Sizemore and Morneau is what I am feeling
I love the story of Hamiton and have no problem throwing away 25 bucks on him, but being a rookie at this scares me too much to think he has a shot to get past round 1...
Plus most of the "buzz" will be around the new kid on the block which makes it a bit harder to live up to if you ask me

I'd like to say Uggla, but comin off an injury :shrug:
My early prediction is either Hamilton or Berkman, but I'm gonna wait to see what the matchups are first.
It is a matchup format again this year, correct?

Saw on ESPN Hamilton is having is 71 yr old pitching coach from high school throw to him. I liked him at first until I heard that.
