The 2025 MLB All-Star Game gets going on Tuesday, July 15th, providing a break in a long baseball season, and also giving fans a mid-season classic.

It’s true that the MLB All-Star Game isn’t always the most exciting. The top pitchers don’t stay out there for more than a couple of innings at most, and the best hitters don’t play the full game, either. Still, it’s one of the best times of the year for the sport, and it’s also another opportunity for MLB betting.

That alone always has me interested, but the trick is looking for some type of an edge. It’s not as straightforward as betting on who will win the World Series, but if you take advantage of good MLB All-Star Game odds, you should have a chance to profit.

When Is The MLB All-Star Game?

The 2025 MLB All-Star Game starts at 8:00 pm EST on Tuesday, July 15th.

Where Is The MLB All-Star Game?

This year’s MLB All-Star Game will be hosted in Cumberland, Georgia, at Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. This marks the third time Atlanta has hosted the MLB All-Star Game, but the first time it will be played at Truist Park.

Who Won The MLB All-Star Game 2024? 

The 2024 MLB All-Star Game result saw the American League prevail, 5-3. It was a tight affair throughout, as there was no scoring until the AL took a 3-0 lead at the top of the third inning.

The AL responded with three runs of their own at the bottom of the third, and then tacked on two more runs two innings later. That would be all the scoring we’d see, as the AL held on for the two-run win.

MLB All-Star Game Odds

The following MLB All-Star Game odds are courtesy of the top sports betting sites:

The MLB odds for the All-Star Game are not up yet, but when they do drop at your favorite online sportsbooks, you can expect something like -105 as the best moneyline price. I don’t think betting on the ML is the way to have fun with this game, but if I had to pick a side, I’d roll with the NL, since that’s where I’d go with my MVP pick.

The NL is stacked with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but Freddie Freeman specifically gives us a really fun narrative. The All-Star Game and Home Run Derby thrive on narratives, and here we get Freeman returning to his old stomping grounds.

Ohtani and Aaron Judge (+700) are admittedly safer MVP bets, but Freeman at +2800 is pretty compelling. Cal Raleigh (+1000) is also interesting as the current home run leader.

The moral of the story here is that you’re going to get solid value when betting on who will win the MLB All-Star Game MVP, but not so much for the game itself.

You can use my MLB All-Star picks above, but I’ll break things down a bit more below. Of course, if you want even more expert advice, be sure to check out what the top handicappers online have to offer.

MLB All-Star Game Predictions

Check out our MLB picks for the following All-Star Game bets:

MLB All-Star Game MVP

• Shohei Ohtani (+600)
• Aaron Judge (+700)
• Cal Raleigh (+1000)
• Ronald Acuna Jr. (+1200)
• Pete Crow-Armstrong (+1400)
• Bobby Witt Jr. (+1800)
• Vladimir Gurerro Jr. (+1800)

These are the seven players with the best MLB All-Star Game MVP betting odds. Shohei Ohtani leads the way as one of the most dangerous two-way players the league has ever seen, but he is currently mostly known for his power and base-running ability.

Ohtani is a logical All-Star Game MVP favorite, as he’s a massive international superstar and is top-3 in homers, depending on the day. He’s yet to secure the MVP trophy in this game, so considering how good he is and how popular he is, that could be enough to do the job.

Aaron Judge can say the same, of course, while there are also huge stars like Witt, Vlad, and Acuna that could easily rise up and take their claim to the hardware.

Crow-Armstrong is an unlikely pick, but he has been a revelation for the Chicago Cubs. Vlad has actually won this award before, so he’s somewhat interesting as a repeat bet.

Of course, all roads lead me to a guy that doesn’t make the odds list cut, as former Atlanta Braves star Freddie Freeman returns home to face his former fans. Everyone knows he never wanted to leave ATL in the first place, so coming back to win the MVP trophy would without a doubt be a dream come true.

Beyond the fun narrative, Freeman is still one of the best hitters in baseball and offers a really nice +2800 price tag. Considering this is a wager that has seen the likes of Eric Hosmer and Elias Diaz win, I don’t mind rolling the dice and betting on the hometown hero getting the nod.

Bet: Freddie Freeman (+2800)

MLB All-Star Game Winner

There are presently no wagers involving the game itself. I have seen a few sportsbooks have a placeholder, though, so MLB All-Star Game odds will be a thing eventually.

Before long, you’ll be able to bet on the run line, the moneyline, the run total, and of course a slew of other MLB All-Star Game prop bets.

For now, I can tell you that I am siding with the NL. This is admittedly a game where the American League has dominated, to be clear. The AL won last year and they’ve now claimed eight of the last nine All-Star games.

I think the NL can buck that trend this year, though, seeing as they’re loaded with Dodgers, and also have a couple of Cubs bats, along with Ronald Acuna Jr.. Having Ohtani in your back pocket is always helpful, as is having three bats from the defending champs.

Defensively, the NL doesn’t have the same level of pitching, but they do have several big names, with Zack Wheeler enjoying a career year, and strikeout demons like Mackenzie Gore, Paul Skenes, and Chris Sale leading the charge.

I do give the pitching edge to the AL if we’re looking at the top (they have Tarik Skubal and Garrett Crochet), but the NL arguably has the better offense and also should have superior depth.

None of these pitchers will last very long in the game, and some of the top bats will end up being limited, too. Due to that, I am rolling with Freeman’s side as part of my preferred narrative.

Bet: National League (N/A)
