2019 MLB All-Star Game: Predictions for Top Players on Starting AL, NL Rosters

The American League has won the MLB All-Star Game six straight years, finally taking the lead from the National League in the all-time series 44-43-2.

However, with some up-and-coming stars on the National League roster dominating the game right now, the American League's reign could be over in the 90th All-Star Game on July 9 at Progressive Field in Cleveland.

The American League has Mike Trout, J.D. Martinez, Hunter Pence, Alex Bregman and Mike Minor, while the National League boasts Javier Baez, Christian Yelich, Ronald Acuna Jr. and Hyun-Jin Ryu.

Trout has dominated the game since he entered the majors in 2011. His career slash line is .306/.419/.576, with his career slugging percentage of .576 making him the active career leader in that category. He also is the active leader with a career .994 on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS).

The Los Angeles Angel has won two All-Star Game Most Valuable Player awards and has a career that already makes him comparable to Hall of Famers such as Mickey Mantle. Trout will be starting in his seventh straight All-Star Game and led the fan vote with nearly a million—the most of any finalist.

Joining him is Martinez, who will be coming off the bench this year as a designated hitter. Hunter Pence got the starting nod over the veteran despite sustaining a right groin strain that sent him to the injured list on June 17. The 36-year-old will be the oldest starter in All-Star Game history. In Pence's 55 games this season, he posted a slash line of .24/.353/.608 with 48 RBI, while Martinez has hit .298/.374/.549 with 37 extra-base hits.

Reigning All-Star MVP Bregman will make his first start after hitting a tie-breaking home run in last year's game to boost the AL to an 8-6 win. The Houston Astro earned a fifth-place AL MVP finish last year, and his 22 home runs this season are the most among third basemen.

Minor leads the American League in WAR (5.5) and WAR for pitchers (5.7), according to Baseball Reference, as well as ERA (2.40). In his 17 starts this year, he has pitched one shutout and one complete game, pitching at least six innings in 12 games. After a poor start to the season against the Cubs when he gave up six runs, the southpaw has given up four or more runs only once since.
