The National League All-Stars lineup is not to be Left Out
The National League lineup is not as strong on paper as the American League. However, the NL does not lack talent with starters like 1B Paul Goldschmidt (St. Louis Cardinals), 3B Manny Machado (San Diego Padres), and OF Mookie Betts (Los Angeles Dodgers).
Goldschmidt is having a career season at St Louis with 20 home runs, 70 RBIs, and 112 hits. Machado is leading the Padres in home runs with 15 home runs and RBIs with 51.
Other starters for the National League include 2B Jeff McNeil ( NY Mets), SS Trea Turner (LA Dodgers), OF Ronald Acuna Jr. (Atlanta Braves), OF Joc Pederson (SF Giants), and Catcher Wilson Contreras.
Not in the starting lineup, but one of the best sluggers in the National League is 1B Pete Alonso (NY Mets). Alonso will see action along with other reserves such as 3B Nolan Arenado (St.Louis Cardinals), Ronald Acuna, and SS Dansby Swanson (Atlanta Brave).
The National League pitchers include Sandy Alcantara, Corbin Burnes, Max Fried, and Joe Musgrove, who all deserve to start but only one will have the honor.
Other pitchers on the NL roster include Tony Gonsolin, Clayton Kershaw, Josh Hader, Luis Castillo, and Edwin Diaz amongst others.
