The American League and National League face off on Tuesday in the MLB All-Star Game. Let’s take a look at the American League vs National League Prediction at Globe Life Field.
American League Betting Preview
The American League starters are led by two Cleveland Guardians in Jose Ramirez and Steven Kwan. The New York Yankees are led by Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, who both have made the All-Star game. Soto on the season has hit 23 home runs, and the long ball could be important in this game. Judge was the top vote-getter in baseball. The American League pitchers might not have a ton of star names, but this is a lot of pitchers that have been really strong this season. Getting the start in this game is going to be Corbin Burnes, and he has gone 118.2 innings and has an ERA of 2.43. Tyler Anderson, Logan Gilbert, Seth Lugo and Tarik Skubal are some of the other pitchers on the roster.
National League Betting Preview
The National League’s All-Star lineup is led by three Philadelphia Phillies. Bryce Harper, Alec Bohm, and Trea Turner have all been voted All-Star starters in this game. Outfielders Jurickson Profar and Fernando Tatis Jr both will represent the San Diego Padres as starters. Tatis Jr is hurt, though, and he won’t play in this game. Shohei Ohtani is the designated hitter and will represent the Los Angeles Dodgers here. Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes is going to get the start here. Skenes could end up being the Cy Young winner if he keeps the success up. Skenes currently sits with an ERA of 1.90. Some of the other pitchers represented include Logan Webb, Ranger Suarez, Tyler Glasnow and Hunter Greene.
American League vs National League Prediction
Give me the National League here. All-Star games come down to the pitching, and I trust the National League pitching more. Skenes is going to dominate the first inning for the National League, and the rest of the National League pitching is going to follow suit. The American League’s offense is going to really struggle to get the offense going here, and the National League will get the job done. Back the National League on the money line.
