Before long, the stars will descend on San Diego’s Petco Park and Major League Baseball’s annual midsummer bash will begin. The wait for the 2016 All-Star Game is over.
Looking to get up to speed on what this year’s game is all about? You’ve come to the right place.
We have a complete preview of this year’s Midsummer Classic, which gets underway at 8 p.m. ET. We’ll go through the starting pitchers and lineups chosen by National League manager Terry Collins and American League manager Ned Yost, as well as a few things to watch for. Because the baseball gods demand sacrifices, there will also be a prediction for who will win at the end.
That’s all there is to it. Step into the box when you’re ready.
