Major League Baseball’s 2025 All-Star Game is taking place Tuesday night, putting the cherry on top of a memorable few days of festivities. This year’s Midsummer Classic will be played at Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. As is tradition, the respective leagues are managed by last year’s pennant-winning skippers. That means Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles Dodgers will oversee the National League’s operations, while Aaron Boone of the New York Yankees does the same for the American League.
The starting pitcher matchup, meanwhile, is as compelling as it gets. Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes will receive the nod for the National League the second year in a row. Skenes will be opposed by Detroit Tigers standout lefty Tarik Skubal.

Here are the full starting lineups for both squads, beginning with the host NL — do remember that fan voting decides the starters, but that the managers get to build the batting orders:
National League
- Shohei Ohtani, DH, Dodgers
- Ronald Acuña Jr., LF, Braves
- Ketel Marte, 2B, Diamondbacks
- Freddie Freeman, 1B, Dodgers
- Manny Machado, 3B, Padres
- Will Smith, C, Dodgers

- Pete Crow-Armstrong, CF, Cubs
SP – Paul Skenes Pirates
American League
- Gleyber Torres, 2B, Tigers
- Riley Greene, LF, Tigers
- Aaron Judge, RF, Yankees
- Cal Raleigh, C, Mariners
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr., 1B, Blue Jays
- Ryan O’Hearn, DH, Orioles
- Junior Caminero, 3B, Rays
- Javier Báez, CF, Tigers
- Jacob Wilson, SS, Athletics
SP – Tarik Skubal, Tigers
Skenes is guaranteed to face Judge in the top of the first inning, and he’ll see MLB home run leader and Home Run Derby champion Cal Raleigh if the AL can get four batters to the plate. Skubal, meanwhile, will be greeted by Ohtani and then will face Acuña, the Braves star who will have the crowd on his side.
2025 MLB All-Star Game prediction
Here’s hoping both teams have fun. Three of the top five teams, as judged by regular season run differential, reside in the National League. That’s enough for us to predict that the NL prevails. Let’s say that Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman comes off the bench late and hits a go-ahead home run that serves as the eventual winning run. Prediction: NL 7, AL, 6
