The 2024 All-Star game will take place at Globe life Field in Texas, the home of the Rangers. The midseason break means less games to bet on this week, although there is an interesting angle on this year’s All-Star game.

American League vs. National League Prediction
Over the last decade or so, the American league has dominated. Over the last 10 All-Star games, the American League is 9-1. The American League was on nine game winning streak before the National League broke the curse last year.
This year, the American League is slightly favored at -118. I think the American League will get its revenge and get back on a new winning streak this year.
For starters, the American League has five of the top six WARs in baseball. The only NL player in the top six is Shohei Ohtani. The AL has the batting average leader in Steven Kwan as well, who is hitting .352 this year.
Another thing is the pitching situation for the NL. Tyler Glasnow, Zack Wheeler, Ranger Suarez, Ryan Helsling, and Chris Sale will all not be able to pitch, filling in with reserves. On the AL side, they are much healthier in the pitching department.
With pitching suffering for the NL, I like the AL with more top hitters and Steven Kwan to top it off. There’s a reason the AL has been dominant in recent history. Take the AL to take the crown back tonight.
