Stats don’t always lend themselves to a single game analysis or predictions. If they did, we’d be able to predict the winners of each individual match-up and the White Sox would never win. However, for the All-Star Game a single match-up is all we get, so while these stats don’t give us a perfect predictive tool for tonight’s game, they do tell us a bit about the strength of each team’s rotation, starters and lineups. They also give us a bit of a window into the strengths of each league as we head into tonight’s game.
For the purposes of this post I wanted to look at two stats for hitters and three stats for pitchers.
