Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports

The Miami Marlins have a representative in the 2014 MLB Home Run Derby, and Giancarlo Stanton has the best odds to win the whole thing for Miami. But will he beat out the nine other competitors, with five competitors in each league including Stanton, for the ultimate home run crown in one of the funnest events in the regular season? Stanton's odds are excellent, but defending champion Yoenis Cespedes is back to defend the crown amid the crowd.
