MLB All-Star Weekend Layout, Everything You Need to Know
This years MLB All-Star break is fast approaching. Here is the full schedule and all you need to know about each event!
2017 T-Mobile Home Run Derby
Monday, July 10th, 8:00 PM, ESPN
This years Home Run Derby is filled with young talent like Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Cody Bellinger, and Miguel Sano. They will go up against defending champion Giancarlo Stanton, and veterans Mike Moustakas, Charlie Blackmon and Justin Bour.
My Pick: I think rookie Aaron Judge will surprise everyone and dethrone Giancarlo Stanton, to win the 2017 MLB Home Run Derby.

This years All-Star game will be without one of the best players in the MLB in Mike Trout due to a thumb injury, but the Red Sox Mookie Betts will step up in his place and provide a great spark to the AL lineup. This years MLB All-Star game will be fun to watch, especially with the fact that it is strictly for fun this year and not to determine who gets home field advantage in the World Series.
