You can't vote at the ballpark anymore and you have only a few more hours left to cast your ballot online. So when you cast your 25 ballots for the All-Star Game today, which electronic chads should you make sure aren't left hanging? Here's a handy Big League Stew endorsement guide to the game's closest races.

Kevin Youkilis(notes) (1,915,303 votes) over Mark Teixeira(notes) (1,875,256) for AL first baseman

Teixeira shook off a horrid start to post great numbers, but Kevin Youkilis' 1.031 OPS is only second to Ben Zobrist's(notes) in the AL and he doesn't have the advantage of playing half his games in Yankee Stadium's jetstream. The two first basemen have been neck-and-neck for the past few months and it's likely this battle is driving a majority of the voting traffic to MLB.com's servers. 

Ian Kinsler(notes) (2,170,100) over Dustin Pedroia(notes) (2,163,270) for AL second baseman

A few weeks ago, everyone thought that Youk-Tex would be the closest All-Star race, but Kinsler and Pedroia have barged into the spotlight. In a perfect world, Toronto's Aaron Hill(notes) should be receiving votes for his spectacular first half, but since he has less than half the votes of Ian and Dusty, the nod here goes to Kinsler based on power numbers, better performance on the basepaths and superior defense. (By the way, if you're wondering about Zobrist — who was a utilityman extraordinaire before Akinori Iwamura's(notes) season-ending injury — he's not even on the All-Star ballot this season.)

Torii Hunter(notes) (1,490,800) over Josh Hamilton(notes) (1,635,781) in the AL outfield

Just when you think that the All-Star voting block has become knowledgeable and savvy — Longoria! Kinsler! — you see something like Josh Hamilton being voted into the AL's starting lineup despite only playing an injury-riddled 35 games so far this season. Hamilton could return to the Rangers this weekend, but even Texas fans should be casting votes for Hunter. Despite last year's Home Run Derby, he's not deserving and he could really use the rest. 

Brian McCann(notes) (1,458,909) over Yadier Molina(notes) (1,846,629) for NL catcher

You know how newspaper editorial boards will get behind a candidate and blindly hammer one aspect even though they know darn well they're wrong in the big picture? That's me with McCann. He has superior offensive numbers to Molina in 10 less games, but not enough to trump Molina's better defensive status and status as a hometown hero. However, as a RepubliMcCann — groan — I must remain loyal to the party. Vote early, vote often.

Carlos Beltran(notes) (2,085,028) over Alfonso Soriano(notes) (1,916,598) in the NL outfield

Beltran won't be able to appear in this one, but it's imperative he holds off Soriano and keeps the Cubs left fielder in the fourth place that's so much better than he deserves. Soriano's numbers shouldn't even give him right to be in the same zip code as the Midsummer Classic, let alone the starting lineup. Giving Beltran the starting nod would allow Charlie Manuel to replace him with a much-more deserving player like Brad Hawpe(notes), Justin Upton(notes) or, heck, even Soriano's slumping teammate, Kosuke Fukudome(notes).
