July 10 - The MLB All-Star game will be held at a National League park and should favor the NL with no designated hitter and the pitchers batting ninth. But is there any reason to bet on the NL when the American League has won 9 of the last 10 games and tied the other one? Surely the latest All Star game betting will reflect that this is a one horse race...

Guess again, because although the American League is favored to win they opened up as only -125 (8/10) favorites. That means you could get +120 or slightly better odds on the National League finally breaking through and winning the mid-season exhibition game.
News of the starting pitchers did cause a minor shift in the main betting market, but not in the direction some expert baseball handicappers thought. Haren from the A's will take on Peavy from the Padres, as two pitchers from Cali clubs get the nod in a game held in California (no coincidence).
We asked MasterBets, the #1 ranked handicapper from Mycapper.com for his impressions: "We feel that Peavy has an advantage in this pitching matchup but the odds moved further in favor of the AL late on Monday night, and they were -135 at some books. This looks like casual betting money to us, and we expect the line to settle back around -125 by game time."
Can the NL overcome interleague inferiority and finally take one down, or will the AL triumph yet again?
Betting on the correct answer could make you a lot of dough, and we recommend purchasing a guaranteed selection by MasterBets only at Mycapper.
