In this article we will formulate a MLB All-Star Game Prediction for this MLB All-Star game on Tuesday, July 16th at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Let’s take a look at the MLB All-Star Game Prediction!
National League Betting Preview
The National League will look to make it two wins in a row this season, after they won last year’s game by a score of 3-2 at T-Mobile Park. Here is the NL starting lineup:
- Ketel Marte – 2B
- Shohei Ohtani – DH
- Trea Turner – SS
- Bryce Harper – 1B
- William Contreras – C
- Christian Yelich – RF
- Alec Bohm – 3B
- Teoscar Hernandez – CF
- Jurickson Profar LF
The starting pitcher for the National League is Paul Skenes, who is the rookie phenom from Pittsburgh. Here are some of the other pitchers that are on the NL roster: Max Fried, Shota Imanaga, Reynaldo Lopez, Kyle Finnegan, and Jeff Hoffman.
American League Betting Preview
The American League has dominated the All-Star game recently, as they have won nine of the last ten games, but they will try to avoid their second straight loss here. Here is the AL starting lineup:
- Steven Kwan – LF
- Gunnar Henderson – SS
- Juan Soto – RF
- Aaron Judge – CF
- Yordan Alvarez – DH
- Jose Ramirez – 3B
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. – 1B
- Adley Rutschman – C
- Marcus Semien – 2B
The starting pitcher for the AL will be Corbin Burnes, who has had a very good first half of the season for the Orioles. Here are a few other pitchers that will be available for the American League: Garrett Crochet, Tarik Skubal, Cole Ragans, Mason Miller, and Emmanuel Clase.
Recent All-Star Game History
The National League won the game in 2023 by a score of 3-2, but the American League won the previous nine games by scores of 3-2, 5-2, 4-3, 8-6, 2-1, 4-2, 6-3, 5-3, and 3-0. Prior to that, the NL did win three games in a row from 2010-2012 by scores of 8-0, 5-1, and 3-1. As you can see, we have seen plenty of lower scoring games, with 9 of the 13 games since 2010 going under 7.5 runs.
MLB All-Star Game Prediction
We have the majority of the best players in the MLB on the field for this game to compete in the All-Star game, and while the game really doesn’t mean anything, it will still provide us with plenty of entertainment. The American League has dominated the All-Star game since 2013, but they are coming off of a loss last season. If you are looking at the total, the under 7.5 runs has been the play in nine of the last 13 games. Just like every recent All-Star game, it is tough to really get a read on the game, as it is just an exhibition game, but I am going to go with the American League here. The NL has a few very good pitchers that are not available in this game and while the AL is missing some offensive firepower, I like their options a little bit more. My MLB All-Star Game prediction is for the AL to win.
