Breaking Down the Betting Action For MLB’s 2025 All-Star Game

Tonight at 8 p.m., the 2025 MLB All-Star Game will begin at Atlanta’s Truist Park, home of the Braves.

From 2003 to 2016, the team that won the All-Star Game would earn home-field advantage in the World Series for their respective league. Previously, home-field advantage was rotated among leagues on an annual basis. Since 2017, home-field advantage has been given to the team with the better overall record.

What is on the line is roughly $25,000 for each player who participates. There are also incentives built into players’ contracts that award them for an All-Star selection, appearance, performance, or a combination of the three.

Betting on the 2025 MLB All-Star Game has already commenced at the nation’s top legal online sportsbooks, with lines on the game itself and numerous props for team and player statistics.

MLB All-Star Game MVP Odds

  • Shohei Ohtani (LAD) +500
  • Aaron Judge (NYY) +600
  • Pete Crow-Armstrong (CHC) +900
  • Ronald Acuna Jr. (ATL) +1000
  • Cal Raleigh (SEA) +1100
  • Bobby Witt Jr. (KC) +1700
  • Fernando Tatis Jr. (SD) +1800
  • Kyle Tucker (CHC) +2000

Shohei Ohtani has the top MVP odds on the board, which matches the oddsmakers’ projections of a National League win. Something to keep in mind is that two All-Star MVPs have come from the losing team: Pete Rose in 1970 and Brooks Robinson in 1966.

Our Predictions: The AL wins, and Aaron Judge wins the MVP.
