The 2022 MLB All-Star Game takes place at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday, July 19, featuring baseball's brightest stars. The American League has dominated this event in recent years, with the National League looking to change that trend.

Current Betting Odds:

• American League: -102
• National League: -116
• AL Run Line (-1.5): +168

American League Outlook:

• Shohei Ohtani headlines as potential starting pitcher and DH
• Strong pitching staff includes Justin Verlander, Shane McClanahan, and Gerrit Cole
• MVP candidate Aaron Judge anchors powerful lineup
• Team aims to continue All-Star Game dominance

National League Outlook:

• Pitching is the team's strength with Sandy Alcantara and Clayton Kershaw (2.00 ERA) leading staff
• Four NL West players in starting lineup
• Notable absences: Bryce Harper and Jazz Chisholm Jr. (injuries)
• Looking to end AL's winning streak

Prediction: The National League's dominant pitching staff should prevail in a low-scoring affair. The combination of elite starters and shutdown relievers will be too much for the AL lineup to overcome. Take the National League at -116.

Key Factors:

• NL's superior pitching depth
• Expected low-scoring game
• Strong NL West representation
• Multiple AL/NL injuries impacting rosters

The starters for both teams are yet to be announced, though pitching matchups typically have minimal impact as starters only work 1-2 innings in the All-Star Game format.
