The American League is highlighted for having a wealth of dominant starting pitchers amid perceptions of a stronger National League. Among the top pitchers, Detroit's Tarik Skubal stands out, while Max Fried's impact as a free agent for the Yankees is noted. Jacob deGrom and Garrett Crochet also emerge as significant talents. Manager Aaron Boone faces a challenging decision for the All-Star Game, considering his options among these elite pitchers, with historical patterns suggesting he might favor his own players.
