The National League All-Stars are heading to an American League controlled stadium here to face the American League All-Stars. However, since this happening in an American League stadium one factor that has been removed for the sake of the American League pitchers is they do not have to swing the bat this year and the designated hitter will be in full swing.
Something else that can help make the difference in this game is the fact that these games usually only see a pitcher throw a single inning. So that does have a limiting factor to the game as well, but with the American League being so hitter heavy with the Yankees and Twins both being well represented the National League may have to change out pitchers sooner than expected.

A balancing point will be the National League is a team that is stacked with a couple of great pitchers who have managed to shut down the offenses of their opponents. So that will definitely make it easier for the National League to have a good showing in this game, but these games always seems to be an offensive powerhouse and even with the likes of Mike Soroka and Luis Castillo available the National League could have some problems.
The pitching for the American League is not nearly as good as the National League. Some of that stems from the fact that the National League does not have as many power hitters as the American League has, but some of it also comes from the fact that the American League seems focused quite a bit more on offense.

The National League is going to have the advantage of a designated hitter in this game, but it will not really help them out that much as the American League is a stacked power house. With the Yankees picking up more power it will definitely help the American League in getting the ball out of the park quickly and getting the runners home just as fast. Look for the American League to bring home a win in this game as it is high scoring, but the power of the American League is easily the best you can find. Final Score, American League wins 11-5.
