It's predicted that the Toronto Blue Jays will have a least one player named as a starter on the American League All-Star Team.
The Blue Jays have been on fire lately, winning nine of their last 11 games and improving their season record to 35-30.
Blue Jays superstar poised to snag a spot on the All-Star Team.
Kenneth Teape from the Toronto Blue Jays On Si writes they're now just 4.5 games back of the New york Yankees in the AL East standings and currently hold the last wild card spot in the league.
"Expect the Blue Jays to be one of the more active teams in the league ahead of the trade deadline, looking to plug holes in their lineup and pitching staff.
One of the positions they won't be looking to address this year or any time soon is first base, where Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will be entrenched for the long-term future." -Teape

Although Guerrero's stats haven't been outstanding so far, he is expected to meet high expectations and earn a spot on the American League All-Star Team for the fifth time in his career.
"David Schoenfield of ESPN not only predicted that Guerrero will make the team, but also believes that he will be in the starting lineup at first base, beating out Jonathan Aranda of the Tampa Bay Rays, Paul Goldschmidt of the Yankees and Spencer Torkelson of the Detroit Tigers." -Teape
This season, the Blue Jays star boasts a .273/.380/.417 slash line with an OPS+ of 124, along with eight home runs, 11 doubles, and 28 RBI's.
«I'll stick with Guerrero as the starter. Nobody else has done quite enough, although any of the four could separate from the pack with a hot June. I'll make Aranda the backup, a nod to his nice start.» -Schoenfield
As the team's overall performance picks up, it won't be long before Guerrero's stats return to the impressive levels fans have come to expect from him in recent years.
