MLB all-star game, Total Over 8.5 at minus-110, $440 to win $400: Justin Verlander, the starter for the American League in tonight’s All-Star Game, proclaimed on Monday that MLB is juicing baseballs and turning the game into “a joke” with record-setting offense.
His theory: MLB has a desire for more offense in an attempt to attract a younger audience. It also owns ball-manufacturing company Rawlings. Rawlings, under orders from MLB, is producing “juiced ball,” or balls that are flying out of stadiums across the league in record numbers.
That brings us to today’s MLB All-Star Game, a night where all interested eyes will be on the sport’s biggest and brightest stars. The league, of course, will what to put on a show. Look for the type of offensive display that has the veteran Velander, who has given up a league-high 26 home runs this season, referring to the game as a “joke.”
Current Standings: Grimala (1-0, $10,000), Brewer (0-0, $10,000), Emerson (0-1, $9,500), Keefer (1-2, $8,520)
