Adam Glanzman/Getty ImagesWashington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper put on a show for the hometown crowd Monday as he won the MLB Home Run Derby thanks to 45 home runs over the course of three rounds.Now the main event will occur Tuesday with the All-Star Game. Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale will get the nod for the American League http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-stan-musial-jersey , while Nats pitcher Max Scherzer will do the same for the National League. Start Time, TV Schedule and Live StreamThe MLB All-Star Game will take place Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET. Fox will televise the contest, and fans can live-stream the action via Fox Sports Go. Pregame coverage begins at 7:30 on Fox. Predictions1. Chris Sale Dominates in 2 Innings of WorkEvery so often, it's fun to just look at a baseball player's stats in amazement, like Babe Ruth's numbers during the dead-ball era of the 1920s.One can get that same feeling based off what Sale is doing right now. He finished the first half of the season by striking out 59 batters in 34.0 innings over the course of five games. Not once did he strike out fewer than 11 batters in any of those contests, and his ERA during that span was a microscopic 0.79. Per FanGraphs, Sale has struck out 37.2 percent of batters faced, in addition to inducing a swinging strike rate of 16.0 percent.The most bewildering stat is that the Red Sox are 12-8 in games Sale has started this year, but the former Chicago White Sox ace has done all he can to prove himself as the AL's best pitcher.Sale won't have an easy task ahead of him Tuesday. He'll be facing a few excellent hitters at the top of the lineup, most notably Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado Roger Maris Jersey , Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman and Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt.However, Sale's stuff has been so phenomenal of late that he's been unhittable, and the guess here is that the NL's best won't fare well. 2. American League Leads from Start to FinishOn one end, the AL's starting lineup can make the case for being one of the best this century. It has an absurd amount of power and hitting talent, so much so that New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is hitting sixth.The problem for the AL is thatScherzer is on the mound, and he's the only pitcher this year who can claim to be in the same stratosphere as the aforementioned Sale. He has a 34.5 percent strikeout rate in addition to a 2.41 ERA.Unlike Sale, however, Scherzer isn't coming into this game in top form, as he's allowed 10 earned runs in his last 20 innings over the course of three starts. Two of those appearances were against weaker-hitting teams in the Miami Marlins and New York Mets.That being said, look for a batter or two to break through against him in the early going. The guess here is Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-matt-carpenter-jersey , who has two homers off Scherzer in seven plate appearances, comes through with an RBI hit.In the later innings, the AL's depth may shine through. In other years, Seattle Mariners designated hitter Nelson Cruz and Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman would be starting, but the talent on the roster is too deep. Look for those two to come up with big hits in the latter stages of the game after the NL's top two aces (Scherzer and the New York Mets' Jacob deGrom) take a seat. 3. American League 6, National League 2Per Joe Osborne of OddsShark, the average run total for an MLB All-Star Game is 8.2. Of course, we've seen a fair share of blowouts and low-scoring nail-biters over the years, but that number seems about right this season. The AL is also a -130 favorite (a $130 bet would return $100) at this time.Ultimately, the AL's power bats and strikeout artists will be too much for the NL. Look for the Junior Circuit to take the overall series lead (the two sides are both 43-43-2) after a Tuesday victory. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Leave it to Antonio Senzatela to end Colorado’s longest scoring drought this season with his first hit in nearly five months.The right-hander pitched a pretty good game Tim McCarver Jersey , too.Senzatela pitched shutout ball into the sixth inning and also hit a two-run single as the Rockies topped the San Francisco Giants 3-2 on Sunday and moved back into first place in the NL West.Colorado jumped a half-game in front of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who lost 5-0 at St. Louis on Sunday night.“I knew they were big moments but I just really tried to stay in the moment and execute my pitches and then roll with it,” Senzatela said. “That at-bat I just tried to put the ball in play and I did. I got a good result and I helped the team to win.”The Rockies, blanked the previous two days, avoided a three-game sweep.Colorado also improved to 41-34 on the road this season, tying the franchise record for wins away from Coors Field set in 2009 and matched in 2017.Ian Desmond added two hits and DJ LeMahieu had a sacrifice fly for Colorado.The Rockies scored three times in the second against Dereck Rodriguez (6-4).Senzatela (5-6) pitched out of jams in the second and third, and left after giving up a single and a walk to open the sixth. The right-hander allowed one run and struck out five with two walks for his first win since July 28.“He’s still growing as a pitcher,” Colorado manager Bud Black said. “He’s still learning a lot. What we like about him is just the competitive streak he has and the toughness.”Four relievers finished, with Wade Davis retiring three batters for his NL-leading 40th save.The Rockies snapped their longest scoring drought this season in the second after a one-out error by first baseman Austin Slater.Desmond singled and Rodriguez walked Chris Iannetta to load the bases. Senzatela followed with his second hit of the season, a single to left. After Charlie Blackmon walked http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-lou-brock-jersey , LeMahieu hit a sacrifice fly to make it 3-0.Black called Senzatela’s single the biggest hit of the series for Colorado. Senzatela’s only other hit this season was on April 27 at Miami.“We had those opportunities on Friday and Saturday but we couldn’t capitalize,” Black said. “Today we did and ironically it’s just the pitcher.”Chris Shaw had a two-out RBI single in the sixth for the Giants.Slater singled in Joe Panik in the eighth to make it 3-2.Rodriguez allowed five hits and one earned run in six innings.“It’s a tough one to lose when you’re getting pitching like that,” San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. “We had some chances but we took a series. You try to take something from that and hopefully carry that into the next one.”ROOKIE LUCKRodriguez has yielded three runs or fewer in all 11 of his starts at AT&T Park this season. He has received two runs or fewer in support in his last four starts overall. “I just go out and throw the best game I can regardless of what’s happening offensively,” Rodriguez said. “The rest I let it take care of itself.”ODDS AND ENDSColorado has not been swept on the road this season. .
