And while Yankees rookie Aaron Judge and Washington slugger Bryce Harper will undoubtedly be elected by fans, other selections and snubs are sure to inspire debate.

And who will represent struggling teams like the Phillies and Padres?

STAY THERE

Jake Arrieta makes his first start since the Washington Nationals stole seven bases off him – four by Trea Turner – during the Cubs’ 6-1 loss on Tuesday.
