Jose Bautista has won two straight AL homer titles and Albert Pujols has won two of the past three NL homer titles.
Small wonder they top the list of who will hit the most home runs in 2012 odds lists at most sportsbooks.
Bautista, the Toronto slugger who hit 43 in 2011 after clubbing 54 in 2010, is the 13/2 favorite. He came out of nowhere two years ago and proved is power was no fluke.
Now oddsmakers have to respect him and they give him the ultimate respect by topping this list at .
Pujols moves to Los Angeles after a multi-MVP career in St. Louis. He is 9/1 odds but will his homer total soar or dwindle after switching leagues?
He is tied with a new powerful name in home run circles – Giancarlo Stanton. You remember him as Mike Stanton of the Florida Marlins, but this year he is Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins.
New Detroit Tiger teammates Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera are next at 10/1 and 12/1 respectively. Yankee slugger Mark Teixeira is 15/1 while last season’s NL home run king Matt Kemp (with 39) is 18/1.
Can Kemp club more homers with the Dodgers ownership melodrama finally resolved? Can Ryan Braun, the reigning NL MVP who did not use performance-enhancing drugs, raise his homer game with Fielder gone from Milwaukee? He is 20/1.
