SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #162 ALL-STAR GAME 2 FOR 1The MLB All-Star Game, also known as the "Midsummer Classic" is a game between the All-Stars from the American League and National League. The game usually occurs on either the second or third Tuesday in July, and is meant to mark a symbolic halfway-point in the Major League Baseball season.
This year, the All-Star Final was held in Nationals Park, Washington, D.C., Home of the Washington Nationals (a National League Team).
As is the tradition with a 2 for 1, we had two contests wrapped up into one…
CONTEST 1 - WHO WILL WIN The first contest was simply about predicting who would win the game — The American League (AL) or the National League (NL).
Having won 7 of the last 8 All-Star games, AL was the obvious favorite but this was a CLOSE one!
The game was tied 2-2 until the end of the 7th and it looked like this would be a low-scoring game. Then, AL went up 5-3 but NL tied the game in the 9th and took this to an extra inning! Finally, AL wrapped it up in the 10th with a 2-run lead.
19 people picked
AMERICAN LEAGUE= 14 WRZ$ each.
CONTEST 2 - OVER/UNDERIn this second part we had to predict whether the total runs scored would be OVER or UNDER the target of
8.5.
Since the total runs scored was 14, the correct answer was
OVER.
16 people picked
OVER= 16 WRZ$ each.
