As the 2018 All Star Game gets closer, let us take a look at who actually belongs in the starting lineup, based on WAR.

With the 2018 All Star Game rapidly approaching, the starting lineups are beginning to come into focus. There are a few positions that are still hotly contested, but for the most part, the starting lineups are close to set.

While one of the joys of the All Star Game is seeing those players voted in by the fans, they are not always the most deserving. Then, with the requirement that every team is represented, there are those players that should make the game, but are snubbed so that every fan base has that one player to root for.

But what if that requirement was not there? What if the fan vote simply did not happen, and the starters were the most deserving players based on their performance? What if WAR was the determining factor for the starting lineup? What would the starters look like then?

Let us take a look at those players who, based on WAR, should make up the starting lineups of the 2018 All Star Game. This way, a few underrated players would be able to get their due.
