2025 MLB All-Star Game forecasts, betting line, Midsummer Classic prediction, timeline: Picks from top baseball expert
The 2025 MLB All-Star Game, set to take place at Truist Park in Atlanta on Tuesday, promises an exciting showdown between the American League (AL) and the National League (NL). According to the predictions of sports analyst Bruce Marshall, the AL is favoured to win, with odds of -135 against the NL's +115.
Tarik Skubal, the Detroit Tigers' ace, will take the mound for the AL, boasting a 10-3 record and a stellar 2.23 ERA. On the other side, Paul Skenes, who will start for the NL, holds a 4-8 record but a formidable 2.01 ERA.
The AL's batting lineup is stacked with standout performers. Chicago Cubs' center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, making his first All-Star Game appearance, leads the charge with an impressive 25 home runs, tied for sixth in the league, and 71 RBI, seventh in the MLB. San Diego Padres' Manny Machado, with his powerful .292 batting average, 17 home runs, and 56 RBI, will also be a force to reckon with.
Meanwhile, Detroit Tigers' left fielder Riley Greene, with 24 home runs and 78 RBI, has been tying up the AL leaderboard. Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, who tops the league in batting average (.355) and OPS (1.194), and ranks second in home runs (35) and RBI (81), is another player to watch out for.
The over/under for the game is set at 8 runs, contrasting with other sources suggesting a 7 or 7.5-run over/under. The American League has won 10 of their last 11 matchups, and currently stands as an underdog with odds of +108 at DraftKings Sportsbook.
