MLB All Star Game Odds & 5 Predictions

We’re only four months removed from an awkward MLB lockout and once again America’s pastime faces unique crossroads. The 2022 MLB All-Star Game will feature two rosters chock full of veteran superstars, while it also hopes to introduce the sport’s next generation of talent to fans around the world. The MLB All-Star Game odds are strong that several of this year’s starters and reserves are household names lying in wait.

Here are the 2022 All-Star Game starting rosters for both the NL and AL:

Baseball betting novices and pros alike will not only be able to wager on the game itself, but bookmakers online will go out of their way to set player prop odds to spice up the All-Star game festivities.

Bookmakers at the best online sportsbooks will likely get around to posting 2022 MLB All-Star Game betting odds later this week in the days leading up to Tuesday’s matchup.

While you won’t rake in the $37.1-million Mike Trout will earn this season, nor the $43.3-million Max Scherzer snagged from the Mets for throwing baseballs incredibly well, the truth is a real money wager on the 2022 All-Star Game is possible at all the online sportsbooks we recommend.

2022 MLB All Star Game Odds 2024

Until the starting pitchers for both the American and National League teams are announced, 2022 All-Star Game betting odds are to be determined.

If you’re looking to bet the MLB All-Star game moneyline, just know that the American League has won eight in a row.

In baseball betting, the spread odds, also known as the runline, is typically +/- 1.5, which is interesting for those betting the 2022 MLB All-Star Game spread because the AL has won those past eight contests by an average of 2.25 runs.

Also, the best online sportsbooks will offer 2022 MLB Home Run Derby futures odds for the eight-player tournament. With Pete Alonso, Albert Pujols, Ronald Acuna, and Juan Soto already announced as participants, we’re just waiting on the final four names.

5 MLB All Star Game Predictions

Kirk Gibson Cameo

Kirk Gibson owns one of the most dramatic moments in MLB postseason history:

Gibson’s one-handed home run and fist-pumping celebration while circling the bases sends chills down the spines of even the most disgruntled MLB pundits. The Dodgers legend, now 65 years old, has been living with Parkinson’s disease since 2015. It would be another one of those hold-your-breath moments should Los Angeles honor Gibson at this year’s mid-summer classic.

Standing Ovations

Major League Commissioner Rob Manfred selected Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera as his legacy picks to join the National and American League All-Star rosters, respectively. Whereas Pujols plans to retire after this season, Miggy is more than happy to earn the last $32 million of his contract and play through the 2023 campaign. A quick glance at Pujols’ and Cabrera’s career MLB stats, highlights the duo’s ability to both get on base – with well over 6,000 hits between them – and smack dingers, with nearly 1,200 home runs combined.

The only question now is how long will their standing ovations last once their names are announced over the PA, over-under betting odds should start no lower than O/U 45 seconds.

Sho-time Ohtani

If the hybrid designated hitter slash ace pitcher of the Los Angeles Angels performs in Tuesday’s All-Star game like he has all season, it could be an excellent opportunity to look into in-game live betting odds. Perhaps a bookmaker posts live odds on how many strikeouts Ohtani will finish with on the mound or how many extra base hits he bangs out.

Bro Hugs

William and Willson Contreras will become the first brothers to appear in an MLB All-Star Game since 2003 and first on the same roster since 1998. It would be cool for MLB to honor Aaron and Bret Boone, Sandy and Roberto Alomar with an in-person appearance and posthumously salute Joe and Dom DiMaggio, Dixie and Harry Walker, and Mort and Walker Cooper.

Judge, Jury and MVP

Major League Baseball’s leader in home runs declined a seven-year contract extension that would pay him more than $30 million per season as he seeks more than $300 million the next time he signs on the dotted line. With the Yankees cruising to an American League East division title, Judge’s bat is a big reason why that unfathomable payday is quite possible this winter.

Ahead of New York’s push to the playoffs and winter meetings hot stove banter, Aaron Judge will walk into Dodgers Stadium an All-Star and walk out of the 2022 MLB All-Star Game Most Valuable Player. Another feather in his cap as he looks to cash in on his big talent production for the Big Apple.
