Okay guys, not actually "betting" these (at least not blindly), but am gonna track the guys who ONLY SAW ACTION IN THE ALL-STAR GAME

Here's the list of guys on each team that actually pitched in the All-Star game Tuesday night. Going to track how they fare in their first start as I've seen a few guys who either like or are interested in this angle:

AL All-Stars

Rogers
Halladay
Zito
Kazmir
Santana

NL All-Stars
Penny
Oswalt
Webb
Arroyo

Each play is for 1 UNIT, playing "against" the A.S. pitcher: (lines from Pinny)

Thursday:

Oswalt vs Florida (Florida -101)

Just wondering if this will be a big issue, don't most pitchers throw between starts and if so I would think throwing one inning in a game is similar, I could be wrong, just a thought.
G/L, will be interested to see how it turns out.

Yeah TKE, I am not sold on this either just yet. Seems a few of the guys talking about it and thought it would be interesting to track:

Recap: 0-1 (-1.01)

Oswalt and his counterpart Willis both pitch well, sends the game to the bullpens in a 1-1 tie, where Houston takes it thanks to a 3-run shot off the bat of newly acquired Aubrey Huff.

Friday:

Rogers vs. Kansas City (+197)

Zito vs. Boston (-172)

Rogers gets rocked by KC, but Detroit offense (Royals pitching) saves the day...
Zito looked good last night in win over Boston

Experiment is 0-3 (-3.73)

Saturday:

Halladay vs. Seattle (+183)

Webb vs. Milwaukee (+119)

Santana vs. Cleveland (+146)

Arroyo vs. Colorado (+139)
