The Major League Baseball All-Star Game is set to take place at T-Mobile Park in Seattle Tuesday night and will feature some of the best players in the sport from both the American and National Leagues.
The best of the best from both leagues will square off, as per tradition. There is no fantasy draft format like there is for the NBA or divisional teams going against each other like in the NHL. The NFL also went back to conference matchups for their All-Star Game, termed the Pro Bowl.
Much like last year, there will still be some stars missing from the game. Mike Trout, Aaron Judge, Shane McClanahan, Dansby Swanson and Clayton Kershaw are just a few of the names who will not be able to participate in the game because of injuries.
The AL will hope to continue its incredible winning streak. The American League All-Stars have won nine consecutive games, increasing the streak last year with a 3-2 win. Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton was named the MVP of the game. He was not selected for this year’s game.
The last time the All-Star Game was in Seattle was back in 2001. The American League won the game 4-1 as it was Cal Ripken Jr.’s final All-Star Game appearance. He won the MVP.
Here’s how this year’s game is shaping out.
