Predicting the 2016 MLB All-Star Game Starting Lineups

The 2016 MLB All-Star Game is rapidly approaching, and this year's ballot closes Thursday, with the league announcing the full rosters next Tuesday.

Major League Baseball released a final voting update Monday afternoon, which is available courtesy of CBS Sports' Mike Axisa.

In the latest update, the Chicago Cubs continued to lead the way with five players on pace to start for the National League, while the Boston Red Sox paced the American League with four projected starters.

Most of the races appear to be wrapped up at this point. But there are still a few spots up for grabs, most notably NL catcher, where the St. Louis Cardinals' Yadier Molina holds a slim 5,130-vote lead over the San Francisco Giants' Buster Posey.

Now that MLB has released the final update, here's a look at our full predictions for who will win each starting nod for July 12's exhibition at San Diego's Petco Park, as well as a projected lineup for each team.

Also included is a look at each predicted starter's stats this season and where he ranks among the other players at his position in his respective league.
