The 94th edition of the all-star Game is here. Corbin Burnes will be starting for the American League, and on the other side of the rubber, the rookie sensation Paul Skenes will get the ball for the National League. Tonight Isaac Paredes will be the solitary representative of the Tampa Bay Rays. For the first time since 2021, a Tampa Bay Rays player will not be in the starting lineup for the American League (2022 Shane McClanahan, 2023 Yandy Diaz and Randy Arozarena). Paredes is receiving his much-deserved first all-star selection after being the most consistent player this season for the Rays, carrying the offense all season long.
