2019 MLB All-Star Game Betting Preview
Standout Stats
The American League has won the previous six all-star games and outscored the National League 28-15 during that interval. The AL is 6-0 ATS during this winning streak too.
Since 2008, the total has gone UNDER in eight of the 11 games with an average combined score of 6.82. Just 1 game over that span featured more than 10 runs.
The two starting pitchers are likely to toss two or only an inning before turning it on to a stacked bullpens. I give the advantage to the NL up to arms go with the likes of Mike Soroka (ATL), Jacob deGrom (NYM), Max Scherzer (WSN) and Clayton Kershaw (LAD) coming after Hyun-Jin Ryu gets relieved.
The AL bullpen has some elite arms early on with Verlander starting, to be followed in some order by Gerrit Cole (HOU), Lucas Giolito (CWS) and Jose Berrios (MIN). Following that, I believe the AL team isn’t as striking as the NL’s.
As there is plenty of electricity both among the starters and reserves whereas the AL starting lineup is head and shoulders over its bench reserves, In addition, I give the nod to the NL bats. Both starting lineups have both first time all-stars: Ketel Marte (ARI) and Ronald Acuna (ATL) for the National League, and Carlos Santana (CLE) and Jorge Polanco (MIN) for the American League.
Together with the game taking place in Progressive Field, the National League is going to have DH and a good deal of choices such as newcomer Pete Alonso (NYM), that wasn’t selected as the starting first baseman over Freddie Freeman (ATL).
