The NL won in a 'swing off' last year after the game was tied through nine innings. Cristopher Sanchez will start in his home park for the NL, while Dylan Cease of the Toronto Blue Jays is on the hill for the AL. Shohei Ohtani (knee) and Aaron Judge (rib) are among the big names who will sit this game out.
