DENVER – The MLB All-Star Game is set for Tuesday night and aside from being a spectacle, it’s a great place to find some betting value. Specifically, prop bets can be the best spot to find the best bets.
Max Scherzer First Inning Strikeouts Total
Scherzer has the fifth-best K/9 in the MLB with a 12.31 and could potentially be facing two batters who strikeout out at a high rate in the first inning in Shohei Ohtani (28.6 K%) and Aaron Judge (25 K%) which could allow for the Over to hit.
Max Scherzer First Inning Strikeout Total
- Over 1.5 +110
- Under 1.5 -145
Although these are the best hitters in the world, pitching will always reign supreme.
The best pitchers often shut down the best batters, especially guys like Scherzer. Online sportsbooks may be underestimating Scherzer’s ability to punch out the top of the lineup.
Over/Under 10.5 Runs
The Over/Under for the All-Star Game is currently set at 10.5 but could potentially be bet up to 11 runs by the time the game starts. Despite plenty of information backing the Under, it’s the betting underdog.
All-Star Game Total Odds
- Over 10.5 -120
- Under 10.5 EVEN
Since MLB All-Star Game data began being tracked in 2005, the Under is 12-4. Further, this is tied for the highest total since tracking began.
All signs point towards the Under and it is the even-odds underdog making it all the more enticing to bettors.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Anytime Home Run Odds
Regardless of where the hype is or what the conversation is, Fernando Tatis Jr. is the true top dog in the young rising talent scene. At just 22-years-old he already has a Silver Slugger award and All-MLB First Team honors.
He seems to always do the incredible and what would be more fitting than Tatis hitting a home run in his first All-Star game.
Fernando Tatis Jr. Home Run Props
- Anytime Home Run +300
- First Home Run of Game +550
The only other player who has shorter odds than Tatis in both of these categories is Ohtani. People familiar with betting on baseball will know that picking a home run hitter is difficult, but if there’s anybody to put faith in, it’s got to be Tatis Jr.
No Run To Be Scored In First Inning
In a bit of an odd fashion, a run to be scored in the first is a moderate favorite.
In the All-Star Game, it’s not uncommon for players to strictly try and hit home runs. When facing the best pitchers in the world, that’s likely going to result in outs.
Run Scored in First Inning Odds
- Yes -145
- No +110
Although it is Coors Field, runs may be harder to come by than the sports betting sites are projecting.
