ALL-STAR GAME 2008

AL Defeats NL 8-5

WP: J. Saunders LP: R. Dempster SV: M. Rivera

MVP: Grady Sizemore CLE

Picking the winning and losing pitcher is a shot in the dark but I decided to do it anyway. I do see Rivera pitching the 9th regardless and in this case picking up the save at Yankee Stadium. I picked Sizemore as MVP because he will enter the game early because I am sure Manny will only play a few innings. Sizemore will play a huge role and be the MVP.! The AL will win simply because they always do. The AL has more talent year after year and will once again have home-field advantage in the World Series.
