Who is going to win the last American League spot in the MLB Final Vote?

It’s hard to believe, but we are just one week away from another All Star Game. Next Tuesday night in San Diego, the 2016 All-Star game will be played. The teams have been selected and the fans have spoken in terms of the starters. (Well, at least fans in Boston and Chicago certainly have).

The fans have one more job though. They have to pick who the final All-Star will be in the American and National Leagues. You have until Friday, July 8 at 4pm eastern to make your selection.

Today, we are going to break down the players in the American League who were selected to be a part of the final vote.

This isn’t about who should win it. This is about who I think will win it. It’s a power rank of each player’s chances to earn that last spot on that AL All-Star team.

All numbers used are going into last night’s game and are per Baseball Reference. So let’s dive in. Who is going to win the final spot on the All-Star team? Here are the five.
