That league has an opportunity to move into the lead in the all-time series if it can win Tuesday night's game at Nationals Park in Washington D.C.The American League has dominated the series over the short term and the long term. The Junior Circuit has won the last five games, and it is 23-6-1 since 1988.

Betts is leading both leagues with his .362 batting average, and he has hammered 23 home runs and driven in 51 runs. Betts is also 17-of-19 on stolen base attempts and he is a brilliant right fielder. Teammate J.D. Martinez is tied for the major league lead with 29 home runs and he has a .330/.392/.648 slash line.Jose Ramirez of the Cleveland Indians is tied with Martinez for the home run lead, while Jose Altuve of the defending World Series champion Houston Astros will most likely set the tone for the American League from the leadoff spot. Altuve has put together a .335/.398/.475 slash line.Manny Machado will play shortstop for the American League and has been having a brilliant year for the moribund Baltimore Orioles a .313 average, 23 homers and 64 RBI.The other big-name superstar in the American League starting lineup is Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees, who has launched 25 home runs and driven in 60 runs.The National League does not have the star power depth of the American League, but the senior circuit may have the game's most exciting player in second baseman Javier Baez of the Chicago Cubs. He is one of the most exciting defensive players in the history of the game because of his range and flair Fernando Rodney Jersey , and he has been explosive with the bat this season.Baez has blasted 19 homers and driven in 71 runs, and he has a .293/.328/.571 slash line. He is a free swinger who has shown he can come up with big hits at key moments.Freddie Freeman of the Atlanta Braves has one of the sweetest swings in the game and is a consistent producer with a .315/.404/.532 slash line.The biggest problem for the National League may be with their headline player Bryce Harper. With the game in his home stadium, Harper has been having a hugely disappointing season. While he has hit 23 homers and knocked in 54 runs, he is hitting just .214 and his Nationals have been slumping badly.The key players coming off the bench are shortstop Francisco Lindor of the Indians, outfielder George Springer of the Astros and his teammate third baseman Alex Bregman for the American League. Top National League reserves include first baseman Paul Goldschmidt of the Arizona Diamondbacks, shortstop Trevor Story of the Colorado Rockies and outfielder Lorenzo Cain of the Milwaukee Brewers.Chris Sale of the Red Sox has started the last two All-Star Games for the American League, and he is on a brilliant roll with five straight starts that have included 11 strikeouts or more while walking one batter or less. He has already fanned 188 hitters while issuing just 31 walks.Gerrit Cole of the Astros and Luis Severino are the American League's top starting pitchers in addition to Sale. Closers Craig Kimbrel of the Red Sox, Edwin Diaz of the Seattle Mariners and Blake Treinen of the Oakland A's will handle the final innings for the American League since fireballing Aroldis Chapman of the Yankees is not participating.Max Scherzer of the Nationals is the likely starting pitcher for the National League since the game is in his home stadium. He is 12-5 with a 2.41 earned-run average and 182 strikeouts. Kenley Jansen of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Brad Hand of the San Diego Padres will likely close for the National League if the senior circuit has a late lead.Statistics are courtesy of MLB.comas of July 15 The Los Angeles Dodgers (56-46) will try to end their longest losing streak since the end of June on Thursday when they visit the Atlanta Braves (54-44) as small road favorites at the sportsbooks.

Why the Dodgers can pay on the MLB linesLos Angeles had been one of the hottest teams in baseball before losing two of three to the Philadelphia Phillies in the midst of a 10-game road trip that ends with four at Atlanta. The Dodgers are still 3-3 through the first six games and get to face a Braves team that has struggled more lately, going 5-10 in their last 15.Starting pitcher Rich Hill (3-4, 4.26 ERA) will now look to build off his best outing in a month for Los Angeles after allowing only one run and five hits in six innings of a 6-4 road victory against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday.He is 1-1 in six road starts this season with a 3.86 ERA.Why the Braves can pay on the MLB linesAtlanta has just played four games since the MLB All-Star break with one postponement at the Washington Nationals on Saturday. The Braves are still 10 games over .500 like the Dodgers and 1.5 games behind the Phillies for the lead in the National League East.This is a playoff team full of young, energetic players outside of a few veterans such as pitcher Anibal Sanchez (5-2, 2.76 ERA), who has found the fountain of youth. Susan Walsh/Associated PressThe 34-year-old is 2-0 in his past four starts, giving up three runs or less in at least six innings of work each time out. He is also 1-1 in six home games with a 1.99 ERA.Smart betting pickLos Angeles has dominated this series with Atlanta recently, winning 11 of the past 15 meetings, according to the OddsShark MLB Database. That includes two of three played at Dodger Stadium between June 8 and 10 and dates back to 2016. Hill should be favored in this spot opposite Sanchez, who will take his second loss at home.MLB betting trendsThe total has gone over in five of Los Angeles' last six games.The total has gone over in four of Atlanta's last five games.Atlanta is 5-10 in its last 15 games.
