All-Star Game Predictions
July 10th, 2007 by documof
After a very surprising Home Run Derby last night, where I picked Price Fielder to win, we have the All-Star game tonight. First, let me start by saying the whole “This one matters” thing is getting old. They’ve been saying that for a few years now. Unless you live under a rock or really don’t follow baseball at all you should already know that the All-Star Game gives the winning team home field advantage in the World Series in the fall.
With all that said I think tonight is going to shape up to be a really good game, as it should be. Both teams lineups are stacked with superstars, future stars, and sure fire Hall-Of-Famers. I think that the National League has an upper advantage on the American Players. I do like the pitching staff of the National League a touch more, and they have better all-around players than the American League.
It shouldn’t be that high of a scoring game with the staff’s that both teams are supporting. I think the final score is going to be National League 6 and the American League 4. The winning pitcher will be one of the closers possibly either Saito or Wagner. The save will go to of course Trevor Hoffman.
The MVP is going to be Matt Holiday with a couple of hits and the go ahead hit later in the game.
