How do you defeat a team that has a starting outfield of Mike Trout (Angels), Mookie Betts (Boston) and Aaron Judge (New York), supplemented by J.D. Martinez (Boston) as a designated hitter? That is what the National League will try to figure out when the All-Star game is played July 17 in Washington.
The rosters for both leagues were announced Sunday, and the American League has an impressive starting lineup that also includes catcher Wilson Ramos (Tampa Bay), first baseman Jose Abreu (Chicago), second baseman Jose Altuve (Houston), third baseman Jose Ramirez (Cleveland) and shortstop Manny Machado (Baltimore).
