The NL snapped a nine-game losing streak in 2023, beating the AL 3-2 at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. Can the NL secure back-to-back wins for the first time since winning three straight from 2010-12? Or will the AL get back in the win column?

Does the MLB All-Star Game determine World Series home-field advantage?
The All-Star Game no longer decides which league gets home-field advantage in the World Series. That rule had been in place from 2003-2016.
How many innings are there in the MLB All-Star Game?
There are nine innings in the All-Star Game.
Are there extra innings in the MLB All-Star Game?
If the All-Star Game is tied after nine innings, it will be decided via a Home Run Derby rather than go to extra innings. The Derby format sees three players from each team get three swings apiece -- with coaches pitching to them -- to try to hit as many homers as possible. After all six players have gone, the team with the most total home runs wins.
The new All-Star tiebreaker hasn't been required yet since being implemented for the 2022 game.

The AL boasts a 47-44-2 record all time over the NL entering the 2024 All-Star Game.
