National League Game Analysis
The big news for the National League Players is Paul Skenes is on the mound. The former LSU star has been outstanding for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He has made 11 starts, and is 6-0 on the season, with a 1.90 earned run average. Skenes has thrown 66.1 innings, and struck out 89 batters, and walked 13 on the season. Skenes has allowed 7 homeruns this season.
Josh Hader and Ryan Helsley are going to be the backend of the bullpen for the National League. Helsley has been the best closer in the game. He has thrown 42 innings, and struck out 48 batters. He came into the All Star Game with 32 saves in 34 attempts this season.
The offense for the National League is going to be anchored by the designated hitter Shohei Ohtani. The likely MVP of the first half of the season is hitting .316 on the season. Luis Arraez is battling for another batting title, and this would be his third MLB team he won one with, batting .310 on the season.
The power supply for the National League starts with Ohtani, who has 29 homeruns on the season. Ketel Marte has had a big season for the Diamondbacks, as he has 10 homeruns, while Pete Alonso and Teoscar Hernandez also have 19 on the season.
You really can’t make a wrong choice when you’re picking between Paul Skenes and Corbin Burnes 😤

American League Game Analysis
Corbin Burnes is going to get the nod for the American League roster. The former Milwaukee Brewers ace has been great for Baltimore. He is 9-4 on the season, and has made 19 starts for the Orioles. He has struck out 110 batters in 118.2 innings this season. Burnes has allowed 13 homeruns and walked 25 batters in 2024.
The back end of the American League bullpen will go to Emmanuel Clase. The Guardians closer has struck out 39 batters in 44.1 innings, but has 29 saves in 32 attempts this season. Mason Miller is another guy that will get the ball late in the game. Miller is the closer for Oakland, and has just 15 saves in 17 attempts.
The offense for the American League sees young stars like Bobby Witt Jr, Jose Ramirez and Gunnar Henderson lead the way. Witt Jr is hitting .323 on the season, while Henderson has clubbed 29 homeruns. Aaron Judge, of course, is the leading home run hitter for the American League with 34.
