MILWAUKEE -- The numbers say Lorenzo Cain is the National League's most valuable outfielder. Will All-Star Game voters agree?
• VOTE: 2018 Camping World MLB All-Star Ballot
Cain was among the eight Brewers on the ballot at the launch of online voting Friday, as fans once again will select the starting position players for the 89th Midsummer Classic.
Fans may cast votes for starters at MLB.com and all 30 club sites -- on computers, tablets and smartphones -- exclusively online using the 2018 Camping World MLB All-Star Ballot until Thursday, July 5, at 10:59 p.m. CT. On smartphones and tablets, fans can also access the ballot via the MLB At Bat and MLB Ballpark mobile apps. Each fan can vote up to five times in any 24-hour period, for a maximum of 35 ballots cast.
Cain, the former Royal who made the American League All-Star team in 2015, moved back to the National League in January when he signed a five-year free agent deal with the Brewers. He began June atop NL outfielders in both the Fangraphs and Baseball-Reference version of WAR -- leading all NL position players in the Baseball-Reference version.
"I say it all the time: If I'm rolling, I feel like everybody else is rolling," said Cain, who ended May with a .282/.390/.431 slash line. "That's why I'm trying to get on base as much as possible. I know if I get on base for these guys, it gets them going. I'm trying to be that spark."

Cain said that at Coors Field on May 10, after he started what would become a Brewers hot streak by homering on the very first pitch of a 10-game road trip. It was the first of seven victories in 10 games on the trip, which was followed by an 8-2 homestand to close the month of May.
Other Brewers players likely to garner significant All-Star consideration include Travis Shaw, who ranks first among NL third basemen in bWAR, third in fWAR, and tops the NL-leading Brewers with 13 home runs and 36 RBIs. Also deserving is Cain's fellow outfield newcomer, Christian Yelich, who began June ranked sixth in the NL with a .307 batting average and a .372 on-base percentage.
