The MLB All-Star Game is always a spectacle. It brings together the best players from the American and National Leagues for a night of unforgettable baseball and lots of festivities. It’s not a typical game where the teams are serious about winning. No, instead, these players are out there looking to have fun. They get to let their hair down (looking at you, Alec Bohm) and have some fun with their friends playing a kid's game.
For the rest of us at home, we get to have some fun placing bets on the big game. And, of course, there are some exciting prop bets that you shouldn't miss out on.
We’ve poured through the stats and the bets to find the best ones you might want to load your bet slip with.
Prop Bet Odds: -350
Paul Skenes has been one of the most talked-about rookies this season, and for good reason.
The Pittsburgh Pirates’ young phenom is making waves with his incredible fastball and deceptive off-speed pitches. It’s simply incredible, and there’s no doubt that he’s a starter for the 2024 ASG. Although Skenes is set to take the mound for the National League, he does face some of the best hitters in the game.
Despite the stiff competition, betting on Skenes to record at least one strikeout seems like a solid bet.
His fastball consistently clocks in the triple digits, often around 100-101, and his control is impressive for such a young pitcher in his debut season.
Even against the star-studded American League lineup that includes powerhouses like Steven Kwan and Aaron Judge, Skenes has the tools to overpower hitters and notch at least one K over the 1-2 innings he’s expected to pitch.
The odds may be steep at -350, but this is a bet with a high probability of hitting (no pun intended).
Prop Bet Odds: +350
Aaron Judge is known throughout the league for his prodigious power. The All-Star Game provides the perfect stage for him to showcase it. With his imposing frame and ability to hit sky-high long balls, Judge is always a threat to go deep.
This year, the odds for Judge to hit a home run are set at +350. This could be a nice payout for those willing to take the risk. Drop a simple $10 bet, and you can get a $55 payout if Judge goes yard.
Judge's power is well-known by everyone in the league, and his ability to change the game with a single swing makes this bet intriguing. While the All-Star Game features top-tier pitching, and he’ll most likely go up against Paul Skenes, Judge has shown time and time again that he can handle the best in the business. That includes Skenes 100+ MPH fastballs. If he gets a pitch in his wheelhouse, don’t be surprised to see him launch one into the upper decks of Globe Life Field.
Despite the incredibly good pitching we’re going to see tonight, no ASG has ever had a no-no. In fact, the closest we’ve ever seen a no-hitter was in 1967, when 5 NL pitchers threw a combined single-hitter. With that, we know that some bats are going to light it up.
Prop Bet Odds: -110
Steven Kwan has been a model of consistency at the plate this season. His ability to make contact and get on base has been a key factor for the Guardians, and he leads the league with an eye-popping .352 BA over 281 at-bats. With an OPS of .919, he knows how to get on base. Kwan’s odds of getting at least one hit in the All-Star Game are set at -110, making it an easy win and a relatively safe option.
Kwan's approach to the plate is mature beyond his years, as he’s only 26. He has a keen eye and excellent bat control, allowing him to spray the ball to all fields. In an All-Star Game setting, where the NL pitchers might not be as familiar with him, Kwan's chances of getting a hit are pretty high. This bet offers a good balance of risk and reward.
Prop Bet Odds: -105
Luis Arraez is another player who has been racking up hits this season at an impressive rate. Known for his ability to hit for average with a .310 batting average over 394 plate appearances (3rd in the MLB), Arraez’s odds to get at least one hit stand at -105. He has been a staple for the Padres this season, and his knack for finding holes in the defense makes this bet appealing.
Arraez’s smooth swing and disciplined approach make him a tough out, even though he’s going up against the best of the best fielders in the AL. He’s a boss at putting the ball in play and has a great understanding of the strike zone. With his ability to make consistent contact, betting on Arraez to get a hit in the All-Star Game is a smart move, even though he’ll most likely go against the likes of Tarik Skubal and Corbin Burnes.
Prop Bet Odds: +125
Juan Soto is one of the most exciting young players in the game today. That’s undeniable. His combination of power, patience, and hitting ability makes him a dangerous hitter in any situation against any pitcher. The odds for Soto to get at least one hit are set at +125, offering a nice potential payday if you make this bet.
Soto's approach at the plate is unlike any other player in the business. He has a keen eye for the strike zone and can adjust to different types of pitching, which is going to be essential when he’s being challenged by the best in the NL. In the All-Star Game, where pitchers may not be as familiar with his tendencies, Soto’s chances of recording a hit are pretty decent. This bet offers a good blend of value and probability. We think this bet is underrated, so you might not want to miss out on this one.
The MLB All-Star Game is a showcase of the league’s best talent. Looking at the ASG rosters of both sides of the ball, this is going to be a game for the ages.
Despite being one of the most spectacular games of the year, prop bets add a bit more excitement to the game.
Whether you’re betting on Paul Skenes to record a strikeout, Aaron Judge to hit a home run, or one of the talented hitters to get a base hit, there’s plenty of action to keep an eye on.
