Betting on the All-Star game should be fun, but you do not want to take any unnecessary risk. I am focusing mostly on game results (money line and totals).
American League at National League
There are some strong historical trends pointing to the American League in this game and I plan to ride them. The AL has won 8 in a row, 15 out of 18, and 20 out of 24. Most pitchers will go one inning max as the goal of the managers is to get as many players in the game as possible. Both lineups are strong 1-5 and I do see a significant drop off in the 6-9 hitters on both sides. The ASG is typically dominated by pitching, lower scoring, and within 1-2 runs. The game will most likely be decided by a home run with a runner on base. With that being said, I like the AL lineup and pitching slightly more along with the strong trends in this spot.

American League at National League
I wrote about the lower scoring games above, and the trends on the UNDER 12-2-1 definitely confirm that. The game is dominated by elite pitching, which makes sense. Also, the trends on lower batting average and higher strikeouts in the game also play out here.
Unfortunately, everyone grabbed the opening total of 8 and pushed the number down to 7.5. I still like the game at 7.5, but not any lower. I see this being 4-3 in favor of the AL. I also like UNDER 4.5 F5 on FanDuel at -144. You can get 4.0 on DraftKings with lower juice -125.
