MLB All-Star Game AL vs. NL Prediction
Both sides have tough competitors, who have been performing at their best this season. The AL team has top home run leaders on their squad. New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge tops the MLB in home runs, while Baltimore Orioles' Gunnar Henderson holds the third position with 27. Juan Soto is also a dangerous hitter when it comes to smashing home runs.
The NL team has the most famous Los Angeles Dodger Shohei Ohtani on their squad. Ohtani is right behind Judge in the home run race with 28. Bryce Harper can cause some damage from the plate, while Trea Tuner, Alec Bohm, and Ketel Marte could add to the list.
The 2024 MLB Home Run Derby winner Teoscar Hernandez is another solid contributor. Pitching will play a crucial role and the NL starting rotation has top pitchers like Shota Imanaga and Paul Skenes.
On the other hand, the AL team has four of the top five pitchers with a leading ERA. Seth Lugo, Tarik Skubal, Corbin Burnes and Tanner Houck will dominate the mound. With a couple of runs from the plate, the AL team could emerge as a dominant force once again. Yet, this is predicted to be a close contest.
Prediction: American League +1.5 (-120)
