This year’s starters are Paul Skenes from the Pirates for the National League and Tarik Skubal from the Tigers for the American League. Both pitchers have strong ERA numbers heading into the break. The NL is a slight favorite at -112, with the over/under total set at 7 runs. To get full betting access and tools, sign up now at WagerHome.
Last year’s game ended 5-3 in favor of the AL, while the 2023 edition saw the NL finally snap a long losing streak with a 3-2 win. The AL leads the all-time series 48-44-2 and has outscored the NL 388-380. With many All-Star Games decided by just a run or two, expect another close one in Atlanta.
This year’s game also follows Monday night’s Home Run Derby, which includes big names like Cal Raleigh, Oneil Cruz, and Matt Olson. Olson will also be in Tuesday’s game representing the host Braves. Several other players declined to play due to rest or injury, so depth and bench performance could be key again.
AL Preview – Looking To Stay On Top
The American League has controlled the All-Star Game for most of the last two decades. Since 1997, the AL is 22-4-1 in the event. Their consistent lineup depth and bullpen strength have helped them in these tight games.
Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh enters the break with 38 home runs, leading the league. He also has 82 RBI and 10 stolen bases. Raleigh has been hitting with power all year and will be a big part of the AL lineup. Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has 35 home runs and leads all hitters with a .355 batting average. He has 24 doubles, two triples, and 81 RBI.
Tarik Skubal gets the start. He has a 10-3 record with a 2.23 ERA. The bullpen behind him features several top relievers. The AL has multiple players on the bench who could come through late, which has often made the difference in past All-Star Games.
NL Preview – Home Crowd And Firepower
The National League is hosting this year’s game in Atlanta. Braves fans will have the chance to cheer for Matt Olson and Ronald Acuna Jr. Acuna is batting .323 and had a two-homer game just days before the break. He’s also been hitting well in front of the home crowd.
Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani will lead the NL lineup. He has 32 home runs, 60 RBI, and 12 stolen bases so far in 2025. Ohtani also has seven triples, showing he can hit for power and speed. His presence adds a strong bat to the middle of the NL order.
Paul Skenes starts for the NL. He’s only 4-8 on the season but has a 2.01 ERA. His strikeout numbers and control give him a solid chance to start the game well. The NL bullpen will feature a mix of hard throwers and off-speed arms, giving them flexibility if the game stays close late.
PPH Betting Prediction
This game has a total set at 7, with recent history suggesting it could go under again. In seven of the last eight All-Star Games, the final combined score has stayed under eight runs. Both starting pitchers have ERA below 2.25, and most hitters only get one or two at-bats.
The National League is a -112 favorite, while the AL is listed at -108. The NL has a good mix of power bats and young speed. The home crowd could give them the edge. A final score around 4-3 seems likely. For more picks, odds, and tips, visit WagerHome and learn how to become a PPH bookie today.
