Races get close as All-Star voting nears wire

Fans have until Thursday to cast votes for Midsummer Classic starters

July 2nd, 2018

The would-be All-Star starters remain the same in both leagues, but with only three days left to vote on the 2018 Camping World MLB All-Star Ballot, there are five spots that remain too close to call.
VOTE NOW: 2018 Camping World MLB All-Star Ballot
The Reds' Scooter Gennett and the Cubs' are pushing of the Braves at second base in the National League, while a pair of Astros -- shortstop and first baseman Yuli Gurriel -- are trying to make lates move to take the voting lead at their respective positions in the American League.
Another Houston player, second baseman , continues to have the highest vote total of any player in either league. Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman leads all NL players in votes.
The Red Sox have two players -- and J.D. Martinez -- in line to start in the AL, while the Braves have three (Albies, Freeman and ) in the NL.
Voting to decide the starters for the 89th All-Star Game presented by Mastercard on July 17 at Washington's Nationals Park continues until 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday.
Here are the latest voting results for both leagues:
AMERICAN LEAGUE
CATCHER

  1. , Rays: 1,556,195
  2. , Yankees: 1,116,568
  3. , Astros: 961,325
  4. , Royals: 614,492
  5. , Indians: 522,139
    There was no movement in the top five this week, though Ramos stretched his lead by about 280,000 votes over Sanchez, who landed on the disabled list with a groin injury. The Rays backstop, whose .290 average and 74 hits are tops among AL catchers, has a commanding lead of nearly 440,000 votes, putting him in good position to earn his first career All-Star start.
    FIRST BASE
  6. , White Sox: 1,312,221
  7. Yuli Gurriel, Astros: 1,088,068
  8. Mitch Moreland, Red Sox: 907,955
  9. , Angels: 688,594
  10. , Tigers: 499,603
    Gurriel picked up about 92,000 votes this week, moving within 224,000 of Abreu, whose 50 RBIs continue to be tops among AL first basemen. The rest of the top five remains the same, though this appears to be a two-man race. Moreland, whose .889 OPS leads all AL players at his position, sits in third place.

SECOND BASE

  1. , Astros: 3,405,815
  2. , Yankees: 997,724
  3. Dee Gordon, Mariners: 528,270
  4. , Indians: 372,885
  5. , Athletics: 255,092
    Altuve's place in the AL starting lineup is secure, while his overall vote lead stands at 286,709 over Red Sox outfielder . Torres, Gordon and Kipnis remain in the three spots behind Altuve, while Oakland's moved past Boston's to regain fifth place.
    THIRD BASE
  6. , Indians: 1,811,902
  7. , Astros: 1,050,370
  8. , Yankees: 963,641
  9. , Rangers: 590,283
  10. , Mariners: 447,940
    Ramirez's lead grew by more than 205,000 votes this week, giving him a comfortable 761,000-vote lead over Bregman, who surged past Andujar into the No. 2 spot. Ramirez is tied for second in the Majors with 24 home runs, one behind Boston designated hitter J.D. Martinez. Seager moved into the top five, replacing the Royals' Mike Moustakas.

SHORTSTOP

  1. Manny Machado, Orioles: 1,272,233
  2. , Astros: 1,135,152
  3. , Indians: 898,977
  4. Didi Gregorius, Yankees: 824,710
  5. , Mariners: 675,140
    Correa landed on the disabled list with a back ailment on Friday, and while the Astros' star isn't expected to miss much time, it remains to be seen whether his inactivity during the final days of voting hinders his ability to challenge Machado. Correa picked up more than 30,000 votes on Machado this week, leaving a 137,000-vote gap between them. Lindor jumped back into third ahead of Gregorius, while Segura continues to round out the top five.

OUTFIELD

  1. , Red Sox: 3,119,106
  2. , Angels: 2,666,972
  3. , Yankees: 2,021,348
  4. , Astros: 1,141,661
  5. , Indians: 1,093,376
  6. , Red Sox: 1,071,135
  7. , Astros: 768,281
  8. , Astros: 706,145
  9. , Twins: 666,108
  10. Mitch Haniger, Mariners: 652,563
  11. , Yankees: 636,087
  12. , Red Sox: 506,993
  13. , Yankees: 483,574
  14. , Tigers: 469,578
  15. , Indians: 344,639
    Betts, Trout and Judge continue to hold sizeable leads to be the starters, while the top seven spots remain unchanged from a week ago. Reddick and Rosario surged two spots each, knocking Gardner down to the No. 11 spot. Betts might be assured a starting spot in the AL outfield, but his chances of catching Altuve for the overall lead look bleak as the gap swelled from 123,453 a week ago to 286,709 this week. The only change on the list this week? Cleveland's , who replaced Seattle's Ben Gamel to return to the top 15.

DESIGNATED HITTER

  1. J.D. Martinez, Red Sox: 2,236,945
  2. , Yankees: 977,274
  3. Evan Gattis, Astros: 953,460
  4. , Mariners: 601,794
  5. , Indians: 559,915
    Martinez's lead over his pinstriped rival Stanton swelled from 936,000 to more than 1.25 million, lining up the Major League home run leader for his first All-Star start and second overall selection. Stanton and Gattis remain behind Martinez, while Cruz climbed to the No. 4 spot and Encarnacion returned to the top five, knocking injured Angels star off the list.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
CATCHER

  1. , Giants: 1,384,631
  2. , Cubs: 1,240,132
  3. , Braves: 1,174,470
  4. , Cardinals: 913,149
  5. J.T. Realmuto, Marlins: 818,925
    Posey led Contreras by roughly 92,000 votes a week ago, but the Giants' catcher saw his lead grow to more than 144,000 votes. Suzuki remains a dark-horse contender, sitting about 210,000 votes behind Posey, who would be making his fourth straight start and fifth of his career. Realmuto, who leads NL catchers with a .908 OPS, makes his first appearance in the top five, knocking of the Dodgers off the list.

FIRST BASE

  1. Freddie Freeman, Braves: 2,905,301
  2. , Cubs: 1,178,915
  3. , Giants: 802,027
  4. , Dodgers: 661,485
  5. Joey Votto, Reds: 479,803
    Freeman's place in the NL's starting lineup seems to be locked in thanks to a vote total more than twice of his nearest competitor. Although the top spot isn't in doubt, it should be noted that Joey Votto of the Reds moved back into the top five after being bumped out by the Cardinals' last week.
    SECOND BASE
  6. , Braves: 1,857,185
  7. Scooter Gennett, Reds: 1,689,393
  8. , Cubs: 1,586,888
  9. Joe Panik, Giants: 493,573
  10. , Dodgers: 379,325
    Albies lengthened his lead over Baez, but the Cubs' second baseman might not be the one to watch. Gennett is making a late move to challenge Albies for the starting job, picking up nearly 75,000 votes on the leader this week to move within roughly 168,000 votes of the top spot. Gennett (.898), Baez (.892) and Albies (.823) finished the week with the top three OPS among qualified NL second basemen.

THIRD BASE

  1. , Rockies: 2,326,711
  2. , Cubs: 1,370,631
  3. , Braves: 868,860
  4. , Reds: 601,219
  5. , Dodgers: 496,912
    Just as Arenado took the NL lead in home runs with two against the Dodgers this weekend, the Rockies' third baseman saw his vote lead at third base swell by nearly 310,000 this week. Arenado is more than 950,000 votes ahead of Bryant, putting the Rockies star in position to make his second straight All-Star start and fourth consecutive appearance.

SHORTSTOP

  1. , Giants: 2,303,516
  2. Dansby Swanson, Braves: 1,162,263
  3. , Cubs: 1,026,014
  4. , Rockies: 820,484
  5. Chris Taylor, Dodgers: 498,570
    Crawford, whose .315 average and .884 OPS are No. 1 among NL shortstops, continues to hold a commanding lead at the position, setting him up for his second career All-Star appearance and first starting nod. The only change in the top five this week was the emergence of Chris Taylor of the Dodgers, who pushed his way past Washington's for the No. 5 spot.
    OUTFIELD
  6. , Braves: 2,457,648
  7. Matt Kemp, Dodgers: 2,046,534
  8. , Nationals: 1,777,221
  9. Charlie Blackmon, Rockies: 1,310,107
  10. , Braves: 1,204,321
  11. , Braves: 1,101,511
  12. , Cubs: 1,018,320
  13. , Cubs: 939,907
  14. , Cubs: 900,316
  15. , Brewers: 708,250
  16. , Phillies: 664,335
  17. , Brewers: 613,205
  18. , Giants: 595,907
  19. Corey Dickerson, Pirates: 540,093
  20. , Dodgers: 509,936
    This list looks remarkably similar to last week's as the top 10 vote-getters remain the same. Markakis and Kemp appear to have locked up their starting spots, while Harper -- who has said he would participate in the T-Mobile Home Run Derby as long as he's on the NL roster -- maintains a comfortable 467,000-vote lead over Blackmon. The Nos. 11-15 spots feature the same names as a week ago, though Herrera jumped from No. 14 to 11, flipping spots with Dickerson.
