MLB All-Star Game 2016: Start Time, Roster Breakdown of 87th Midsummer Classic

The first half of the 2016 season wrapped up Sunday, and MLB's elite are now converging on San Diego, California, for Tuesday's Midsummer Classic.

The San Diego Padres are hosting the event for the first time since 1992, when 2016 Hall of Fame inductee Ken Griffey Jr. was the MVP.

This year's event has an odd twist to it, as the American League will be the home team despite the game taking place in a National League park.

MLB recently ended the tradition of alternating between AL and NL cities for the All-Star Game but is continuing to alternate home and away statuses. Since the NL's Cincinnati Reds hosted last year as the home team, the AL will take the home dugout in San Diego on Tuesday.

Here's a look at the info you'll need to tune in.

NL Roster Breakdown

Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports

The National League starting lineup looks a lot like the one Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon trots out on a nightly basis. The five Cubs in the starting lineup are the most for a single team since the Padres had five starters in 1985, according to MLB.com's Carrie Muskat.

But while the NL has a strong starting lineup, there's a noticeable drop-off on the bench. 

Multiple NL reserves, notably Reds outfielder Adam Duvall and his .288 on-base percentage, look like marginal All-Star candidates at best.

Fortunately for the NL squad, led by New York Mets manager Terry Collins, the pitching staff features some of the top arms in the game. Washington Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg, Cubs starter Jake Arrieta and San Francisco Giants lefty Madison Bumgarner should be among the first pitchers to take the mound Tuesday.

With a dominant staff, the NL has the firepower on the mound to potentially shut down a potent AL lineup and win a low-scoring game.

AL Roster Breakdown

Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost has put together an interesting but controversial roster for the American League.

Yost, who is used to having a dominant bullpen in Kansas City, selected nine relievers for his squad, including two from his own team.

Multiple starters, including the Cleveland Indians' Danny Salazar and Toronto Blue Jays' Marco Estrada, will be ineligible to pitch, which will likely force Yost to heavily feature his relievers during the game. And with multiple lefties in the pen, Yost will likely play matchups late in the game if the score is close. 

Despite the interesting makeup of the pitching staff, the AL roster is highlighted by a potent offense that could carry the team to a victory.

The starting lineup features four players who are hitting over .320, led by Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve, who leads the AL with a .341 mark. 

The AL bench also features multiple threats Yost could use as pinch hitters in clutch situations, including major league home run leader Mark Trumbo.
