The National League will face the American League for the 93rd installment of the MLB All-Star Game Tuesday. The AL enters on a 9-game winning streak vs. the NL and has the edge in the all-time series with a 47-43-2 record. The AL narrowly defeated the NL 3-2 last year at Dodger Stadium.

MLB All-Star Game picks and predictions

Prediction

AL 4, NL 3

It’s tough to predict which team will put more effort into winning the All-Star Game, but I’ll side with the AMERICAN LEAGUE (-110) in Tuesday’s matchup. As mentioned, the AL has won 9 straight meetings, 2 shy of tying the 11-game streak set by the NL between 1972-’82. The AL had a 13-game unbeaten streak between 1997-2009, which included a tie in 2002.

PASS.

While the AL should win outright, backing the run line with -190 juice isn’t advised.

UNDER 7.5 (-120) is the play in this year’s star-studded clash with pitchers typically having the edge in All-Star Games. There have been fewer than 8 runs scored in 5 of the last 6 contests, and T-Mobile Stadium isn’t an extremely hitter-friendly venue.
