There's nothing like a Major League Baseball All-Star Game that comes down to the wire and ends in dramatic fashion. It's good for the fans and the Majors alike.

An MLB 15 The Show simulation of the game is betting on the 86th annual Mid-Summer Classic on Tuesday night (July 14) at Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park being an extra-innings' nailbiter.

The way the video game plays it out, after a pitchers' duel resulting in a few scoreless innings, Bryce Harper will put the National League on the board first with an RBI single in the third. The NL will add two more runs in the fourth and one more in the sixth. 

But the American League bats come to life in the seventh inning, beginning with a Lorenzo Cain single followed by two doubles. The AL would knot the All-Star game up at 4-4 in the ninth inning, forcing extra innings.

The way the All-Star Game is simulated by MLB 15 The Show, the stage is set for St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina, who comes through in the clutch with a deep solo, walkoff shot to win it for the National League. The simulation says that Molina would go on to win the All-Star Game MVP, while the NL would clinch home-field advantage for the World Series.

Molina only has two homers this season, so imagine if this actually transpires with the game going extra innings and him being the unlikely hero.

Another simulation of the video game, has Albert Pujols and hometown Cincinnati Reds' hero Todd Frazier meeting in Monday night's Home Run Derby championship round.
