We have hit the unofficial sports bettor s vacation week as the MLB All-Star Break formally begins. This is usually the time of year where bettors take a break, recharge their batteries and begin to prepare for football or readjust their bankroll. Today we no longer have 15 MLB games to choose from like we have for the past three and a half months. Instead we have just one big event to get down on: The MLB Home Run Derby. For an updated breakdown of Monday s betting action, be sure to tune in to the VSiN Market Insights Podcast with Josh Appelbaum. It will be posted at 1 p.m. ET. I ll also be co-hosting the Lombardi Line alongside Dave Ross from noon-2 p.m. ET.
