Discover the Secret Strategy That Could Transform All-Star Games Forever!
The AL is led by a number of big name guys, but the standout to me is that Aaron Judge will be hitting third for the All-Star lineup. He is arguably the best hitter in baseball and has been outstanding this season once again. I don’t really care which pitcher you have from the American League, you’re going to have a tough night if you have to face him. I assume he will get two at-bats in this one, as will most of the other starters, and that’s it. About half of the All-Stars have faced Paul Skenes, the National League opener, and all except Junior Caminero have struck out at least once against him. Riley Greene is the worst with a 1-6 mark and three punchouts. On the bench for the American League, we see some potential difference makers like Alex Bregman, Byron Buxton, and Julio Rodriguez. I specifically like Buxton as a guy that will be used for speed and for defense. There are only two catchers on the roster so expect Cal Raleigh, last night’s Derby winner, to be in the game for five or six innings. For pitching, they get Tarik Skubal, who will probably turn in two scoreless innings. Then they probably hand the ball to Garrett Crochet, Jacob deGrom, and Max Fried for an inning of work each. I assume that the combination of those four guys will allow maybe a run, and it will take us to the fifth inning.
