Kris Bubic O 0.5 K (-185, DraftKings)

Bubic’s first inning statistics are telling. He has achieved a strikeout in 13 out of 18 starts (72%). The -185 line suggests a 65% likelihood of him striking out at least once. Being fresh from not pitching since July 9th gives him an edge in his first All-Star Game.

No Run First Inning (NRFI) -160, DraftKings

Tarik Skubal holds a 16-3 record in NRFI this season, while Paul Skenes is undefeated (20-0). Although difficult batters like Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani are expected, good pitching usually prevails. The NRFI bet has cashed in 6 of the last 7 All-Star matches since 2017.

National League to win First 5 Innings (-120, DraftKings)

Despite the American League winning 10 out of the last 11 All-Star Games, this year’s NL roster seems stronger and they play in an NL park.

NL F5 + NRFI (+194 Parlay, DraftKings)

Combine the no run first inning with the NL to win the first five innings for a +194 parlay.
