The 2019 MLB All-Star Game will take place on July 9th, in Cleveland OH. That means we are officially less than two weeks away from the first pitch. The starters for the game will be announced tonight at 7pm EST on ESPN. We are officially less than 2 hours out from the voting deadline. The race for many positions remains tight.
