July 14, 2026 MLB Confirmed Lineups

The Almanac's Take

One game on the board — the All-Star Game — and one lineup confirmed. The NL opens with Kyle Schwarber leading off at 32 home runs and a .920 OPS, a strange look for a player with that kind of raw power, though All-Star orders are often more ceremonial than strategic. Yordan Alvarez hits second for the AL with 31 HR and a 1.063 OPS — if you're building around anyone today, that's your anchor. Ben Rice at seventh (28 HR, .964 OPS) is quietly the most interesting value position in the AL order given the production-to-slot gap.
