The much-anticipated 2024 Major League Baseball All-Star Game is finally here! This exciting event is scheduled for Tuesday night at the impressive Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, the proud home of the Texas Rangers. This year marks the 94th edition of the Midsummer Classic, a special occasion as it’s the first time a reigning World Series champion has hosted the MLB All-Star Game since the New York Yankees did back in 1939. Last year in Seattle, the National League ended a nine-game losing streak against the American League, yet the AL still maintains a slight historical edge with a 47-44-2 record.
The rosters are finalized, and the starting pitchers have been announced for this stellar event. Before diving into those details, let’s cover the essential viewing information for the 94th MLB All-Star Game.

On Monday, American League manager Bruce Bochy of the hosting Rangers and National League manager Torey Lovullo of the Diamondbacks set the stage by announcing their starting lineups. While All-Star starters are selected through a voting process, it’s up to each manager to determine the batting order. With such high-caliber hitters at their disposal, it’s a challenge that’s definitely a “good problem to have.”
Starting Pitchers Announced
First things first: the starting pitchers. We already knew that Pirates rookie sensation Paul Skenes was chosen by Lovullo to pitch for the NL. On Monday, Bochy announced that Orioles ace Corbin Burnes would be taking the mound for the AL. This season, the 29-year-old right-hander has delivered an impressive 2.43 ERA/154 ERA+ across 19 starts, racking up 110 strikeouts and 25 unintentional walks over 118 2/3 innings. Although Burnes is now a four-time All-Star, this will be his first time starting. The pending free agent joined Baltimore this season following a major trade with the Brewers last winter.
American League Starting Lineup
Now, let’s take a look at the lineups, starting with Bochy’s AL batting order:
- Steven Kwan, Guardians, LF
- Gunnar Henderson, Orioles, SS
- Juan Soto, Yankees, RF
- Aaron Judge, Yankees, CF
- Yordan Alvarez, Astros, DH
- José Ramírez, Guardians, 3B
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays, 1B
- Adley Rutschman, Orioles, C
- Marcus Semien, Rangers, 2B
Starting pitcher: Corbin Burnes, Orioles
National League Starting Lineup
And here is Lovullo’s NL lineup:
- Ketel Marte, Diamondbacks, 2B
- Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers, DH
- Trea Turner, Phillies, SS
- Bryce Harper, Phillies, 1B
- William Contreras, Brewers, C
- Christian Yelich, Brewers, RF
- Alec Bohm, Phillies, 3B
- Teoscar Hernández, Dodgers, CF
- Jurickson Profar, Padres, LF
Starting pitcher: Paul Skenes, Pirates

Odds for All-Star Game MVP
Players like Ohtani (+1000), Judge (+1100), Henderson (+1400), Harper (+1400), and Witt (+1600) have the shortest odds of clinching the All-Star Game MVP title. However, the MVP honor doesn’t always go to the biggest stars. For instance, last season, Rockies catcher Elias Díaz earned the award with a crucial home run.
