Texas will host the 2024 MLB All-Star Game, which will take place at Globe Life Field on Tuesday, July 16. The 94th Midsummer Classic will feature an impressive group of superstars, including MVP candidates Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge along with young studs like Gunnar Henderson and Paul Skenes.
With so much talent on both sides, who will come out on top in the annual summer clash between the American League and National League?
Let’s predict which star-studded team will lead their team to victory with our MLB All-Star Game best bets and predictions.
MLB All-Star Game Odds
MLB betting odds used for my writeup are current as of 11 a.m. ET on Monday, July 15, at DraftKings Sportsbook.
- Moneyline: American League (-120) • National League (+100)
- Run Line: National League -1.5 (+170) • American League +1.5 (-205)
- Over/Under Run Total: Over 7.5 (-108) • Under 7.5 (-112)
The American League is favored to win the event, which makes sense given the AL’s home-field advantage. However, these rosters are evenly matched, leaving this showdown as a near toss-up.
MLB All-Star Game Prediction
American League 3 • National League 2
The MLB All-Star Game is always tough to predict because the starting position players usually come out midway through the game, and pitchers rarely go more than one inning, making the outcome somewhat random.
With so many substitutions, these games tend to be close, lower-scoring affairs. For example, the last 10 games have all been decided by three runs or less, while only one of the previous 17 contests has produced double-digit runs.
That said, the American League has won nine of the last 10 All-Star Games going back to 2013, so I have to ride with them here.
MLB All-Star Game Best Bets

I have to go with the Under in this game, just take a look at the recent All-Star Game results:
- NL 3, AL 2
- AL 3, NL 2
- AL 5, NL 2
- AL 4, NL 3
- AL 8, NL 6
- AL 2, NL 1
- AL 4, NL 2
Seven of the last eight games have gone Under 7.5 runs.

MLB All-Star Game Prop Bets
Bobby Witt Jr: All-Star Game MVP (+1500)
WAGER: 0.25 Units
I’m loving the value on Bobby Witt Jr. to win All-Star Game MVP at (+1500) odds.
The Royals’ star is in the middle of a fantastic season, slashing .323/.369/.558 with 16 home runs and 22 stolen bases.
That kind of power-speed combination gives Witt multiple ways to impact this game, which is why it’s a good bet to take a shot given the appealing price.
