BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

2017 BASEBALL ALL-STAR GAME

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

Let’s hear it for the “old guys.” In tonight’s Baseball All-Star Game, the starting pitcher for the National League is Max Scherzer, whose stat of a 10-5 midseason record and 2.10 ERA is less impressive, to me, than the fact that he’s about to turn 33 – making him the oldest player to start in tonight’s game. Not just the oldest pitcher. The oldest player. But tonight’s game showcases other ages, too, from all-round talent Bryce Harper to amazing rookie talent Aaron Judge, the Yankees phenom who already has 30 home runs for the season. The game is broadcast live from Marlins Park in Miami, so it’ll be warm enough. Wet, maybe, but warm.

THE BOLD TYPE

Freeform, 9:00 p.m. ET

Just as Cruel Intentions was a young and modern take on Les Liaisons Dangereuses, this new Freeform series, basically, is a young and modern take on The Devil Wears Prada. It’s based, loosely, on another matriarch at another fashion magazine – former Cosmopolitan editor in chief Joanna Coles – but with its interns and intrigue, its fashion and its tension, it’s basically another glossy, sexy take on The Devil Wears Prada. (Presumably, it’s a lot more restrained than a porno parody version called The Devil Wears Nada. Never seen it – but I have to admit, I love the title.) For a full review – of The Bold Type, not The Devil Wears Nada – see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes and David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.

THE DEFIANT ONES

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

Part 3 of 4. This joint biography, and lionization, of Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine continues.

FACE OFF

Syfy, 9:00 p.m. ET

This competitive fantasy makeup show is hit and miss, but when it has a good theme of the week, the competing makeup artists can be stretched in entertainingly diverse directions. Tonight’s assignment: Design makeup for a creature that would be likely to emerge from one of the nine circles of hell from Dante’s Inferno. Expect inordinate representation from the Second Circle, which contains hellbound victims once consumed by lust (Cleopatra, Helen of Troy). Fun fact: When I was 15, and launched an underground magazine in 1969, I called it Seventh Circle. What a fun, jolly kid I must have been…
