The Arizona Diamondbacks (50-31) are hot this season and currently hold a Wildcard spot. Arizona’s roster has been built around Paul Goldschmidt and Zack Grienke, both of whom have made it into the NL’s fWAR All Star game roster.

While most people expected the Dbacks to compete for a playoff berth this season, not projected them to be posting a .617 winning percentage halfway through the season — even though they’re in the middle of three-game losing streak. Arizona’s pitching staff is a major reason that they’ve had so much success this season as they’re currently holding a FIP of 3.52 (and an ERA of 3.44), while also holding opposing hitters to a low batting average of .222 against them. The Diamondbacks have two pitchers, one reliever and one starter, in our NL fWAR All Star game roster.

For our NL fWAR All Star roster, the top two first, second, and third basemen, along with the top two shortstops and designated; six outfielders, starting, and relief pitchers made our roster. Also included is a small sample of the players performance during the 2015 season, for batters with more than 150 plate appearances we’re looking at their BA/OBP/SLG; for qualified pitchers — more than 25 innings pitched — it’s their ERA/FIP/xFIP.
