Today’s the day that the midsummer classic will be played at Globe Life Field, where Major League Baseball’s best will go head to head. Here are some prop bets you can place to make your viewing experience a little more enjoyable.
First inning run total – Under 0.5 runs scored -140 (FanDuel)
With a starting matchup of Corbin Burnes vs. Paul Skenes, the first inning of this year’s All Star Game should in all likelihood be a pitchers duel. While Skenes will likely have his work cut out for him against American League opponents like Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Gunnar Henderson, an experienced Corbin Burnes should be able to help hold his end of the bargain if Skenes can get out of the first inning cleanly.
To Record A Hit – odds provided by FanDuel
Steven Kwan +100
Yordan Alvarez +100
Bryce Harper +100
These left handed hitters are some of the best in the game, and at plus odds to get record a hit could be great picks. Kwan and Alvarez won’t likely end up facing Paul Skenes, which makes this even more interesting to take. With Kwan being arguably one of the best pure hitters in the league right now hitting .352, and Harper and Alvarez being some of the flashiest and best hitters in clutch moments in recent years, these three props should be fun at bats to follow all game.
To Hit A Home Run – odds provided by Action Sports Network
Corey Seager +700
Teoscar Hernandez +900
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. +900
Corey Seager has home field advantage at the plate tonight, and it’ll be interesting to see if he can use that to show off some power and cash a +700 bet for those who thought the same. On top of that, Teoscar Hernandez could come into today still feeling hot from his Home Run Derby victory last night, which at +900 odds is great value to take. Same thing applies to Guerrero Jr., who is no stranger to big hits at All Star weekend. At +900 odds, taking a past derby champion to go deep in the All Star Game is not a bad bet.
