Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani hit a three-run home run in the All-Star Game on Tuesday, accounting for all of the National League’s runs in a 5-3 loss. Ohtani’s three run blast in the third inning against Boston Red Sox pitcher Tanner Houck gave the NL a short-lived 3-0 lead. The AL got all three runs back in the bottom of the inning.

Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani are the front-runners for baseball’s MVP awards, according to the oddsmakers. It’s only the All-Star break, but one or two clear favorites have emerged for several of the game’s top honors. With play set to resume again Friday, here’s a look at what the betting lines have to say, courtesy of BetMGM Sportsbook.

With the minor league season (full-season teams) set to resume on Friday, it’s a good idea to check out where each of the Mets’ affiliates stand through the first half of the minor league season. While the second half has technically started for each of these teams in terms of the standings, the All-Star break is a good stopping point to check in on what’s happened during the season so far.

Shohei Ohtani accomplished an All-Star Game first in his storied career but the National League lost 5-3 to the American League at Globe Life Field. The AL team bounced back from last year’s defeat and now have won the MLB All-Star Game in 10 of the last 11 years. Overall, AL All-Stars are 48-44-2 against the NL in Midsummer Classic history.

We made it to MLB’s All-Star break, and everyone can now take a slight breather from setting fantasy baseball lineups for a couple of days. But even though we get a mini break from game action, there’s never a bad time to assess our teams and the players on our teams to see what moves can be made moving forward.

Crossed Up: First-Half Fantasy Pitcher All-Stars (7/17)

Philadelphia, PA

The Baltimore Orioles could trade Cedric Mullins, their starting center fielder, to a contender before the trade deadline. Let me explain. The Orioles have more outfielders than they know what to do with. Colton Cowser and Heston Kjerstad aren't going anywhere because they're two thirds of the future in Baltimore's outfield. Anthony Santander is having the best season of any Baltimore outfielder. Austin Hays is performing well in his role and Kyle Stowers desperately needs more playing time. Top prospect, Connor Norby, is banging on the door to be called up to the big leagues.

Among the Boston Red Sox' most glaring needs ahead of the trade deadline is a right-handed bat. They struck out on a chance to sign one of the top right-handed sluggers on the free-agent market last offseason. Teoscar Hernandez was linked to the Red Sox before signing a one-year, $23.5...

We are back from the doldrums of the MLB All-Star break and welcomed with a hearty 11-game DFS slate. We are going to once again use the large slate formatting to sift through pitching archetypes and find spots we want to deploy pitchers as well as identify spots to avoid and attack. The goal here is to group our pitching options into categories that are similar and then build your lineup construction around mixing and matching archetypes of pitching with chalk versus low-rostered stacks.

The second half of the Diamondbacks season begins with a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The Cubs sit on the edge of Wild Card contention, 3.5 games back of the Mets for the third Wild Card spot. With a series win, the Diamondbacks can deal a heavy blow to Chicago’s postseason hopes for the second straight season.

While the Los Angeles Dodgers come out of the All-Star break with the second-best record in the National League and awaiting the returns of several injured players, the outlook for Max Muncy remains unclear. The Dodgers placed Muncy on the 10-day injured list May 17 due to a right oblique...

Phillies’ Bryce Harper gets ultimate praise from Shohei Ohtani after MLB All-Star Game

The Toronto Blue Jays stand at a crossroads. Coming out of the All-Star Break with a 44-52 record, they sit 14 games out of the AL East and 9.5 games out of a Wild Card spot. Furthermore, their -66 run differential gives them a Pythagorean record of 41-55, suggesting that their meager record has not been influenced by some sort of awful luck. Because of this, 2024 is already a lost season in Toronto, who is expected to be one of the few sellers at the deadline this season.
