An embarrassment of riches will be scattered throughout the diamond with stars Tuesday night for this year’s Midseason Classic.
The All-Star Game kicks off with two of the best pitchers in the major leagues this season, as Cy Young candidates Paul Skenes and Tarik Skubal will clash.
Surely every player in the dugout will be standing up and leaning against the railing instead of sitting back on the bench.
Watching these two pitchers go to work is appointment viewing, and the entire league should be on alert to see these two studs work.
The total for this game is understandably low, coming in at seven runs across most of the betting market.
It’s worth remembering that Skenes and Skubal will potentially pitch for just one inning, and the rest of this game features some loaded offenses.

Still, just one All-Star Game since 2018 has totaled more than seven runs.
Is this game going to be a pitcher’s paradise going forward?

The last offensive showcase we had was in 2018 when the AL defeated the NL, 8-6.
Scoring is about on par with years past (4.38 runs per game in 2025 vs. 4.39 in 2024), and no data shows baseballs are any different or that Torpedo bats have any positive offensive correlation.

Still, some of the pitchers behind the elite two are missing from action, notably Jacob DeGrom, who will not pitch in the game, along with Max Fried and Garrett Crochet.
That potentially leaves us with Clayton Kershaw, who was picked as a friendly gesture more than for merit, to pitch behind Skenes, along with MacKenzie Gore and others.

None of these pitchers are bad per se, but there is certainly a drop off.
All of these things lead me to a total of over seven runs bet. I suspect that this is a year for an offensive explosion in the All-Star Game.
