You would think that after Jacob deGrom decided to skip this year’s Midsummer Classic to focus on the second half of the season, that the next choice for the NL starter would have been none other than Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler. However, Max Scherzer will get the start for the National League.
American League Lineup:

- Vladimir Guerrero Jr., 1B
- Xander Bogaerts, SS
- Aaron Judge, RF
- Rafael Devers, 3B
