GAME NOTES: On paper, this may finally be the NL’s year. They’ve got a loaded lineup and I’d be more confident with Ben Sheets taking the hill than Cliff Lee. Still, with a possible combination of K-Rod-Nathan-Papelbon-Rivera to end the game and posing a clear bullpen advantage, I’ll take the AL to win a nailbiter with a late RBI that propels them to yet another All-Star Game victory and gives the Red Sox home field in the World Series.
