The 2018 MLB All-Star Game takes place Tuesday, July 17th from Nationals Park in Washington, DC, and the rosters for both leagues have been announced. There are 25 first-time All-Star selections this season. The American League side is stacked with a ton of power led by Aaron Judge and J.D. Martinez. The National League has two very nice surprises in outfielders Nick Markakis and Matt Kemp. The Cubs, Braves, and Red Sox all have two starters, but Boston could make it three if they decide to start Chris Sale.
