As usual, the matchup will pit the American League against the National League with the previous season’s pennant-winning managers serving in the same role for their league. That means Astros manager Dusty Baker runs the AL while Braves skipper Brian Snitker leads the NL. The full rosters were announced Sunday night. Starters are voted for by fans while reserves are filled through player ballots and the commissioner’s office. Managers are no longer part of the process. Here are the rosters. The starting player for each league will be selected the day before the match.
