00:00Craig that will be an interesting wrinkle of our action tonight in Atlanta where the American

00:04League has been dominant in all-star games basically for the last two and a half decades

00:09and winners of 10 of the last 11 and yet the NLA slight home favorite tonight at minus 116 on the

00:17money line the total is seven. Craig you called it an exhibition it's what it is it is a time

00:21to celebrate all that is Major League Baseball so to ask you for a staunch handicap I will not

00:27but do you agree with the NL maybe based on the talent in the roster and in the starting nine

00:33being a slight favorite tonight in the ATL? Yeah you're looking through a lot of the different

00:38betting options there does seem to be some tempting plus money on the total amount of strikeouts for

00:44Skeens and Scoble in the first inning I believe you can get like plus 240 if they strike out

00:50four of the six batter so to me like that's the kind of thing that's a possibility that I would

00:55throw a dart at as far as picking the game to win seems to be almost impossible what I would say

01:01is from a talent perspective I know Wheeler's not going to pitch in the game but you would assume

01:05that if they're going to put a kid in who's only pitched in five games he's going to pitch his six

01:10tonight so Mizorowski I guess would probably pitch tonight with Skeens at some point but here's the

01:17problem guys you get late into the game you really don't know what's going to happen and on top of that

01:21like I don't know that some players are going to bow down to Kershaw playing in the all-star game and

01:27you know that unfortunately for Kershaw talent wise he's probably behind some of the others and I would

01:31anticipate him pitching at least one in this game so that's the best handicap that I could give for the

01:38game itself still is an exhibition but I do think that the NL has their best shot tonight because they've

01:43added some players who are going to have to pitch in the game
