At this time of year, numerous articles attempt to predict who will make the trip to the MLB All-Star Game.
With the rosters set to be revealed Tuesday night ahead of the July 12 All-Star Game in San Diego, we’ve decided to take a slightly different approach here.
Rather than focus on forecasting the actual roster, we’ve predicted who fans will talk about once the rosters are announced.
We’ve chosen our biggest position-player snub, pitcher snub and roster surprise for each league while also taking a crack at predicting the five players who will make up the Final Vote ballot in each league.
Now in order to make these predictions, we needed to set a baseline by determining who will be selected. You can find that on the next slide, but the focus here was on the aforementioned categories.
Rounding things out, we made our predictions for how each team’s starting lineup will look, including the starting pitchers.
It’s a slightly different take on the usual roster-prediction article. Enjoy.
