The MLB All-Star Game is right around the corner. The home run derby takes place on Monday, July 10, while the All-Star Game takes place the following day on Tuesday.
As the game is approaching, National and American League starters have been announced. The National League starting lineup will look like this:
Both the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers dominate this list. Both teams have three starters representing their organizations, which should come as no surprise, given how hot both teams have been.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is the only rookie named a starter on the National League All-Star Game. Hopefully, he will be able to play in the game. Carroll was taken out of the game Thursday as he appeared to have hurt his shoulder on a swing.
One of the biggest surprises comes from Orlando Arcia. While he ranks fifth in WAR among other National League shortstops, he's having a career year.
