🏟️ AL vs NL: Will the American League’s Dominance Continue?
The American League has historically dominated the All-Star Game, winning 10 of the last 11. But this year, analysts believe the tide may finally turn in favor of the National League.
🧠 Expert Predictions:
- Jorge Castillo: NL wins 5-2 – stronger lineup and more momentum.
- Jeff Passan: NL takes it 3-1 – superior depth and ability to hit new pitchers.
If the NL pulls it off, it would mark just their second win since 2012.
