With only one player ever cracking the final round of the Home Run Derby, the Astros have not had success in Major League Baseball’s most exciting contest of the summer. Lance Berkman put on a show for the home crowd back in 2004, but other than that, the Houston performances have been pretty bleak.
Tonight, Alex Bregman looks to snap that trend by hitting a lot of line drives to left field. Overall, it will be a tough task for Bregman, as he’ll have to get through Kyle Schwarber in the first round and then potentially upset the home favorite, Bryce Harper, in the championship round.
