The best team in the National League does not have an All-Star starter. Let that sink in. That may change if Clayton Kershaw gets a chance to start the game, but that will be up to Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon. As of now, though, the Dodgers have zero.
It’s easier to live with Justin Turner, Cody Bellinger, and Yasmani Grandal not getting the starts. Turner has to deal with Nolan Arenado. While an argument can be made for Turner having the better season, Arenado no doubt deserves the start as well. He’s having an MVP-caliber season by doing Arenado-like things on a playoff team.
