Your 2010 All-Star Game Line-Up

Tonight at 8pm ET, the National League All-Stars will take on the hosting American League All-Stars at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, CA. Here are tonight's starting line-ups in the Big A:

National League

Hanley Ramirez, SS (Florida Marlins)

Martin Prado, 2B (Atlanta Braves)

Albert Pujols, 1B (St. Louis Cardinals)

Ryan Howard, DH (Philadelphia Phillies)

David Wright, 3B (New York Mets)

Ryan Braun, LF (Milwaukee Brewers)

Andre Ethier, CF (Los Angeles Dodgers)

Corey Hart, RF (Milwaukee Brewers)

Yadier Molina, C (St. Louis Cardinals)

Starting Pitcher- Ubaldo Jiminez (Colorado Rockies)

American League

Ichiro Suzuki, RF (Seattle Mariners)

Derek Jeter, SS (New York Yankees)

Miguel Cabrera, 1B (Detroit Tigers)

Josh Hamilton, CF (Texas Rangers)

Vladimir Guerrero, DH (Texas Rangers)

Evan Longoria, 3B (Tampa Bay Rays)

Joe Mauer, C (Minnesota Twins)

Robinson Cano, 2B (New York Yankeses)

Carl Crawford, LF (Tampa Bay Rays)

Starting Pitcher- David Price (Tampa Bay Rays)

On paper, all I can say about the American League line-up is...Wow. Robinson Cano, arguably your first half AL MVP, is hitting 8th. Also, next to Josh Johnson, David Price is probably having the best pitching season the casual baseball fan doesn't know about.

Regardless of the vaunted line-up, I'm sticking with my pick yesterday of the National League winning this game 4-2.

The belief coming into this game is NL Manager Charlie Manuel is prepared to throw Ubaldo Jiminez two innings, followed by Josh Johnson and Roy Halladay for two apiece as well. From the 7th innings on, he can mix and match with the likes of Adam Wainwright, Chris Carpenter, Heath Bell, Jonathan Broxton or Arthur Rhodes all the way home.

That's a lot of pitching. And a lot of great pitching. Either way, this game is going to be interesting, just like the last five. Hopefully, this time, the NL comes away with the victoy.
