All-Star Game Totals Play... Holy Crap Its A Winner!!!

Gotta thank Llyod Christmas for making me realize something. I am -21.43 units in my top plays, but at one point i was -48 units in my top plays, so despite all the shit and distractions I have gone through,  I still have been nearly 27 units to the good in my top plays the last month an a half. I really hope it carries over to the 2nd half of the year.

AL/ NL Under 8.5:  The last time 9 or more runs were scored in an All-Star game was back in 2007. Since that game an average of just 6 rpg have been scored, with the most runs being 7 runs in the last 4 year. I know there is alot of offense in this game, but just like the last 4 years, it is the age of the pitcher. Matt Cain gets the start for the NL team and will probably go the first 3 innings. Matt does have a 5.29 ERA in the first inning this year, but a 1.06 ERA in the second and a 1.59 ERA in the 3rd, so with a lot of AL players having not seen him much, plus the fact that he has his own catcher (Posey) behind home plate, he should do just fine out the gate. Verlander has a 2.33 ERA in the first 3 innings and he should have a good showing vs the weaker hitting NL Squad. Behind Verlander is Weaver (0.32 ERA Last 4 starts), King Felix, Darvish and Sale. All pitchers that can shut down anyone for an inning. Behind Cain is Dickey (43 inning scoreless streak this year), Hamels, Kershaw and Strasburg, not to mention a pen that consists of Chapman, Hanrahan and Papelbon. Gonna be very tough for the AL to get more than a couple off off this bunch. The Team that can hit is the AL, but they much go against the much better staff, while the weaker hitting NL squad will take on some tough pitching by the AL squad. Really I see no more than 7 runs in this game.
