Fan voting for the 2018 All-Star game opens Friday.

Fans can vote for All-Star starters up to 35 times -- five times maximum in a 24-hour period.

The pitchers and reserves will be selected through a player ballot with input from the commissioner’s office. The National League team will be managed by the Dodgers’ Dave Roberts.

Braves outfielder Nick Markakis, at age 34, could be in route to his first All-Star game. What other Braves player has the potential to play in the Midsummer Classic July 17 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.? Cast your vote here, before you cast your vote here.
