he has 19 HRs now only 5 of pace of bonds at this point when he broke the record. arod also gets like 550-600 ABs a season so that means he is on pace for like 65 HRs so he could have another hot streak and be up to around 70 HRs. anyway what do you think the chances are of him beating it and how many HRs will he finish with?

Pretty Bad. His chances of breaking the careeer home run record are very good though.. I dont think ke will see alot of pitches once his home run total tops 45- 50. How the heck do you think he will get all the way to 74 from there???

Being off the pace at all of the season high HR record is a disadvantage. This will be a hard total to match from behind anyway he needs to worry more about clutch hitting to help make up his teams deficit in the standings.

Almost every year there is a player that does amazing in HR's, but at the end of the season they don't amaze people like they did at the beginning of the season. Like Pujols last year, at one point he was on pace to break the HR record, but then he got injured and that ruined it.
I would say not very likely.

turn decrease back the clock to a million 300 and sixty 5 days in the past, Albert Pujols set a sparkling checklist for homeruns interior the outlet month of the season whilst he released 14 baseballs out of the enjoying field. A %. that ought to have considered him shatter the checklist of seventy 3, yet ensures into the destiny are in no way made. In 2006, Pujols have been given harm & neglected 19 video games & in 143 video games hit 49HRs. Arod is in between the ideal stretches of his large occupation, The Yankees have 8 video games ultimate in April & as warm as he's, probable he wont smash Pujols April mark. i might say for April he will hit 12 & i think of for the 300 and sixty 5 days 40 5 if healthful is the minimum!, max fifty two

Odds of A-ROD breaking the single season home run record of 73: 1 to 87

I don't think there is a chance. A-Rod is obviously not using steroids, but Bonds obviously was. To get to the 70 mark requires performance enhancement. I do think he has a shot at 60, which is quite an achievement, although a watered down one.

Unless he starts juicing up, then nil. He should stick to hitting his usual 40-50 HR each year and going for the all-time record, like Hank Aaron did.

there is no chance until bobby abreu and jason giambi start hitting better behind him...joe torre has shuffled the lineup to put jorge posada behind a-rod, and try to force teams to pitch to him that way because posada is swinging a hot bat right now, but the bottom line is that eventually posada will cool off and it will be up to abreu and giambi to produce...if they get it going, then a-rod will get a lot more good pitches and maybe will have a small chance at the record, but if they continue to slump he won't even be close

Hes streaky. He could do it easily, but hes already had one slump this year. Im sure there will be a few more as well. I think you can mark him down for at least 55+ this year, but 73 is a stretch.

definitely will not hit more than 59...yeah, no 60 for a-rod this year...but barry was on roids! 59 is amazing for a roid-free hitter. ha ha but the yankees might not win more than 73 game
