3 Dodgers Among Leading Vote Getters in First All-Star Ballot Return /
In this story:

On Monday, the first round of All-Star game results dropped and the Dodgers were pretty nicely represented. There are 3 boys in blue sitting at the top of 3 positions in the National League. Who they are probably won't surprise you.

Freddie Freeman is the top vote getter at first base. Mookie Betts is among the top vote getters in the outfield. And J.D. Martinez leads among NL designated hitters.

Catcher Will Smith is about 200,000 votes behind Braves backstop Sean Murphy for a starting spot in the midsummer classic. Max Muncy and Miguel Vargas have also received their fair share of votes, with Max in third place among third basemen and Vargas in fourth among second basemen.

Fans still have time to vote before Phase 1 ends on June 22nd. Users are able to vote up to five times per day, per email account. Votes can be cast here at MLB.com.

As usual, fans are unable to vote for pitchers, but it's reasonable to expect that Clayton Kershaw will end up making his 10th All-Star squad this year and he could be joined by rookie right-hander Bobby Miller, if he continues trending in the direction he's going.

So far, fans have gotten the vote right. In both leagues. At shortstop in the American League, you could argue that old friend Corey Seager deserves a little more love votes wise, but he also missed a few weeks with a hamstring injury.

The 93rd MLB All-Star Game will be held at T-Mobile Park in Seattle on July 11th.
