I tend to always back the American League, and they have won the last nine straight. This year I am going the other way and backing the NL to get its first win since 2012.

There are always replacements but with Aaron Judge, Yordan Alvarez, Mike Trout, Shane McClanahan, Emmaunuel Clase, and likely even Framber Valdez all being replaced on the AL side, I like the NL's depth better, especially offensively.
And if there is any extra motivation needed for an exhibition, I give that to the NL as well which matches up very well in this spot.
