So any surprises on being left off rosters?  Well with the AL I gout a couple. Ten wins for Logan Gilbert out in Seattle. Only guy in the AL who's got more wins than he does is already in the game, that being Justin Verlander who's at 11 wins. Gilbert has 100 K's and a 2.80 ERA how he isn't here is a surprise. Also worth nothing I think the only reason Anthony Rizzo was left out of the game was his .226 batting average. He's got better numbers then Arraez of the Twins. In the National League that Francisco Lindor was not selected. Sure Dansby has a little better average, but Lindor has better overall numbers than his Braves counterpart.
