An All-Star for the sixth straight season, Sale is making his second straight start for the AL. In five All-Star innings, Sale has given up two earned runs, including a solo homer to Kris Bryant last year. He picked up the win in 2013.
The Nats’ ace has followed his second Cy Young season with an even better first half. Scherzer uses a high-velocity, five-pitch arsenal to slice through lineups at an elite rate. His 457 strikeouts over the past two seasons are the most in the bigs.
