FiveStarPick.com looks forward to the MLB All Star Game every year because it means there is only two more months until the start of football season.  But seeing that baseball is America’s pastime, we do what we can to keep your interest through a grueling 160 game season.  Today we give our members another MLB All Star Game winner.  Here is an amazing stat…FiveStarPick.com is 11-0-1 in money line winners for our membership over the last 12 MLB All Star games.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the American League as -111 money line favorites with the total of 9.5 runs.

It used to be that America really looked forward to the MLB All-Star Game. The best players from the National and American Leagues joined forces to put on a mid summer show.  Today, while we still see top shelf players, the buzz circling the All Star Game has been diminished due to interleague play, free agency and performance enhancing drugs.  Back in 2003 Bud Selig tried to add some meaning to the contest by awarding Wold Series home-field advantage to the winning club. That’s helped to a degree, but something is still not right.

As far as satisfying our gambling problem is concerned, this is always a tough game to handicap.  Should you back the home league? What about riding the side with the league’s best record?  Is it really worth playing the total?

If you’re going to be betting just on what you read in history books, then you’ll be wagering on the National League tonight. In the past 79 installments of the “Midsummer Classic,” the Senior Circuit holds a 40-37-2 edge. But looks can be deceiving.

The majority of the NL’s wins in this game came between 1950 and 1987. During that stretch, the National Leaguers posted a 33-6-1 record. I know you’re thinking my math is a bit off there with 40 games being played in 37 years. But there was a stretch there from 1959 and 1962 that there were two games All-Star Games played (one in each league).

Unfortunately for fans of the Senior Circuit, all they have is the past to look at for glory. The American League has won 11 straight exhibitions, with the tie in 2002.
