Heading into the All-Star break, the Manatees are riding a 6 game winning streak (which followed a 4 game losing streak), and sit at 10-6 so far this month. They trail the YakAnglers in the west by 4 games, but hold a 3 game lead for the first wild card position. Greg Maddux, Duke Snider, Steve Carlton and leading AC vote getter Ichiro will represent the club.

In rookie, the Iron Manatees strategy change to purchasing only gold packs paid off, as the accrual of their 3,000th point led to new additions Kenley Jansen and Jose Ramirez stepping into roles with the team just before the break. Brian Goodwin, Mickael Kopech, Zack Greinke and leading AC vote getter Bo Bichette will represent the team. The month of July has been very streaky, with a 6 game win streak was followed with the last 4 games being losses. At 62-35, the hold a now only 7 game lead in the AC West, and the 2nd best record in Rookie 173.

The BaphoMets followed a 7 game win streak with a 1-3 record their last 4 games. At 52-46, they are second in Rookie 149's AC East, 3.5 games back of the division and 3 games out of the second wild card. A tournament win just as break began saw Jorge Soler join the team as the new starting RF, Ian Happ as the new DH, and Adam Kolarek joining the bullpen. The Mets will not be represented at the All-Star game.
