i thought that it would open at 12...hitting will always be there....pitching is about routine and rythym...the all-star game will disrupt some of the pitcher's routine and rythym...different catchers, different roles for pitchers, different time and length of warm-ups in the bullpen.
i just think the AL -1.5 is the only safe bet for this game, their pitching is WAY better then the AL...so is their hitting...
