The post Mariners’ Cal Raleigh emerges as betting favorite to win 2025 Home Run Derby appeared first on ClutchPoints. The 2025 Home Run Derby is just two days away. The derby is always one of the top events to watch in sports, as there is nothing like seeing a ton of baseballs being hit out of the park.

Which masher will win this year's Home Run Derby? The name at the top of the oddsboard might come as a surprise.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh had the perfect reaction to the latest home run record he broke during Friday's 12-3 win.

The Tigers started the best pitcher in baseball Tarik Skubal, and the Mariners managed four runs off him in five innings of work. Raleigh, though, didn't get his licks in until Skubal had given way to the Detroit bullpen. Homer No. 1 of the night came off Tyler Holton in the eighth inning.

Cal Raleigh went deep twice in a 12-3 win for the Mariners and is now only one home run shy of tying Barry Bonds for the most homers before the All-Star break.
