Rosters:

American League

This team is almost more noteworthy for who is not playing than who is. Mike Trout was having an MVP type season before he got injured. His star power will be missed. Aaron Judge is probably the biggest draw on the team, but Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa will also be a fun double play combo. The American League’s bullpen is also stacked with Craig Kimbrel and Dellin Betances dominating hitters all season.
