Best MLB All-Star Game player prop: Aaron Judge to record a hit (+110)

Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing. Playable to +100.

There aren’t many weaknesses in Aaron Judge’s game, but he has been particularly excellent against right-handed pitching this season. In fact, the AL MVP favorite currently holds a .360 batting average and has slugged 24 home runs against righties in 2025. While Pirates ace Paul Skenes isn’t your average right-hander, Judge will likely get 2 plate appearances in this game, meaning there’s a decent chance he faces a different pitcher in his 2nd plate appearance.

Atlanta is a friendly ballpark for hitters who are able to generate power to left field, and that’s exactly what I expect Judge to do. With large swaths of open grass in left-center and right-center, look for the Yankees’ star outfielder to record his 11th hit in his last 10 games and cash this prop for us. If Judge gets 2 at-bats like most are projecting, I like his chances of recording a hit on Tuesday.

Best MLB All-Star Game player prop: Will Smith to record a hit (+145)

Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing. Playable to +130.

On the National League side of things, we’re going to travel a bit further down the board and take a shot on Dodgers catcher Will Smith to record a hit. Smith has long established himself as one of the premier catchers in the game, and he’s also in the midst of an excellent 2025 campaign for the league’s best team. What makes Smith so appealing in this game is his ability to hit very well against both right-handed and left-handed pitching.

The veteran backstop holds a .324 batting average with 8 home runs against righties this season, while he’s also hitting .318 with 4 home runs against lefties. Smith’s compact swing that emphasizes a contact-based approach is one that should lend itself well against the elite pitching he’ll face in this contest. Given that he’ll likely get 2 plate appearances, it’s hard not to like Smith’s chances of finding the outfield grass at least once on Tuesday.
