2024 MLB All-Star Game Player Prop Bet Odds & Picks
It was another electric Home Run Derby last night. Teoscar Hernandez stole the show, launching 49 total long balls en route to his first derby victory. The All-Star festivities continue tonight as the American League hosts the National League. The American League looks to get back in the win column after having their nine-game winning streak snapped in last year's 3-2 defeat.
Below I'll dive into a couple of my favorite prop bets for tonight's All-Star Game, as well as leave you with a longshot prop bet that's worth a sprinkle at +800.
First pitch is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET from Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX. Bruce Bochy's American League squad is a slim -122 Moneyline favorite while Torey Lovullo's National League team comes back at +102. The over/under run total is set at 7.5 (-102/-118).

2024 All-Star Game Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Shohei Ohtani to Record 1+ Hits (+110)
Let's start with National League MVP frontrunner Shohei Ohtani (-290 at DraftKings Sportsbook). The Dodgers' two-way star will be making his fourth All-Star appearance tonight. He's a modest 1-for-4 (.250) at the dish with a pair of walks in his All-Star Game career.
With the year Ohtani's having, it's easily worth a flier on him at +110 to register at least one hit. The slugger's batting .316 (fourth) this year with a 1.036 OPS (second) and 29 bombs (second). He logged at least one hit in each of the three games leading up to the break, going 5-for-13 (.385) in the series against the Tigers.
Not only is Ohtani swinging it well right now, but he also has a decent track record against American League starter Corbin Burnes (2.43 ERA). Ohtani's 1-for-3 (.333) against the right-hander with a single and zero strikeouts. It'd be foolish to try and make a massive anti-Burnes case here, but it's worth mentioning his K/9 rate (8.34) is the lowest since 2018 and his ERA is a pedestrian 3.46 over his last four starts (26.0 innings). Ohtani should get at least two quality at-bats. I think he's primed to get a knock.
Trea Turner to Record 1+ Home Runs (+800)
Due to the sequencing of the game, it's best to place our longshot prop bet in the two-hole. Trea Turner's batting third for the National League, meaning he'll automatically get a crack at the American League's Burnes as well. Starting with the head-to-head numbers, Turner is a respectable 4-for-10 (.400) with a double against the American League hurler. He hasn't taken Burnes deep, but this could be the perfect spot to do so.
Honestly, I don't think there's a hotter hitter in the entire league than Trea Turner. The shortstop finished the first half of the season going 23-for-53 (.434) over the 13 games leading up to the All-Star break. Also, this guy just cannot stop hitting home runs. He's mashed eight of them this month in 12 games. Considering his current form and the success against Burnes, I’m sprinkling a couple of bucks at 8/1 odds for the National League middle-infielder to touch’em all.
Juan Soto to Record 1+ Hits (+125)
Let's send it over to the American League, where I'm backing Juan Soto to record at least one hit. The Yankees' right fielder is having a big debut season in the Bronx, hitting .295 (14th) with a .985 OPS (third) and 23 tanks (sixth).
He doesn't have great All-Star numbers, going 1-for-6 (.167) with a couple of walks over three appearances. However, I like his matchup against the National League's Paul Skenes (1.90 ERA). The right-hander relies heavily on his four-seam fastball, throwing it 37.8% of the time. It just so happens Soto crushes four-seamers, hitting .345 against them with an xSLG mark of .899.
Like the above-mentioned players, Soto should get at least two quality at-bats to register a hit. I think it's worth a play at +125 for the always-dangerous Soto to make an impact under the bright lights.
