What are MLB All-Star Game tiebreaker rules and format in 2024? (SPOILER: IT'S AWESOME!)

It was just back in 2022 that MLB fans started rooting for a tie in the All-Star Game, something unthinkable from that time the Midsummer Classic actually ended in a tie and everyone got made.

But there’s a good reason why: there’s an awesome way to decide the winner should the game be tied through nine innings: IT’S A HOME RUN DERBY WOOOOOO!

Per USA TODAY Sports’ Bob Nightengale in 2023: Each team would choose three players. Each of them gets three swings. The winner of the All-Star Game would be whatever team has the most home runs.

So, yeah. Let’s go ties!

Remember, if this All-Star Game remains tied after 9 innings, the game will be decided by a Home Run Derby.
Each team selects three players, and each batters gets three swings.
The team with the highest homer total will be declared winner of the game.
