All-Star Game Odds: Setting The Table
Per BetMGM Sportsbook, the 2023 Midsummer Classic has the NL lined as a short favorite as of Tuesday afternoon. The total of 7.5 is juiced to the under (-125).
Zac Gallen, the betting favorite among NL Cy Young odds, will get the start. The 27-year-old righty was pegged ahead of Cubs ace Justin Steele, who is tied with his teammate Marcus Stroman for the seventh-shortest odds in this market. Moreover, Gallen represents the the third Diamondbacks’ pitcher to receive this honor, joining Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling.
Meanwhile, six-time All-Star Gerrit Cole will counter Gallen from the get-go. Despite opening the season as the favorite to win the AL Cy Young award, he’s fallen behind Astros southpaw Framber Valdez () at the break. Like Gallen, Cole () is also making his first All-Star Game start.

Headliners Taking A Seat
Although the AL possessed a theoretical pitching advantage on paper, Valdez and Shane McClanahan aren’t expected to take the mound. Their respective absences mitigate the loss of Clayton Kershaw and Spencer Strider for the NL — and then some. Couple that with Aaron Judge, Mike Trout, and Yordan Álvarez all sidelined, and the NL showcases an upper hand offensively.
Hence, the NL taking some action after opening at plus-money shouldn’t come as a surprise. Additionally, Rob Thomson’s club exhibits a matchup advantage out of the bullpen, thanks to Steele and fellow lefty Josh Hader. Conversely, Dusty Baker lacks a left-handed pitcher on his staff — minus Valdez and McClanahan.
If you’re looking to get creative with your wagers, here are a bevy of MLB All-Star Game odds for the MVP market. Shohei Ohtani, the odds-on favorite for AL MVP betting, is the leader in the clubhouse (+850). The duel-threat start will presumably avoid pitching in this game, but he’s batting second behind Marcus Semien (+2500) in the AL lineup.
