The American League has won four straight All-Star games over the National League. Will they make it five in the 2017 MLB All-Star Game? Let’s see what some experts think with their picks and predictions to win this year’s Midsummer Classic.
IBTimes writer Anthony Riccobono has gone with the American League to extend its four-game All-Star Game win streak by beating the NL, 6-4. The AL has also won the four games during its current win streak by at least two runs. However, they will be the slight +105 underdogs in this game, which will be played under NL rules in Miami.
FanRag Sports – NL
Alex Kolodziej of FanRag Sports, on the other hand, is predicting a close 6-5 National League win. The NL is a slight -115 favorite to get its first win since 2012. Kolodziej sees Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna hitting a big homer in front of his home crowd, while he predicts Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman will take home the MVP award.
The Sports Geek – NL
Luke Hutson of The Sports Geek has also gone with the National League to win, and he’s gone one better. He’s willing to wager on the NL winning by at least 1.5 runs, which is currently priced at +170. It certainly makes sense to wager on the spread if you think the NL will eventually end up winning. The winning team in the All-Star Game has won by two or more runs every year since 2010.
