HBT: Cain will start over Dickey for NL

We know Justin Verlander will be starting the All-Star Game for the AL. John Harper of the New York Daily News has a source telling him who the NL starter will be:

I know a lot of ?people want R.A. Dickey to start for the NL because he?s awesome sauce and everything. And really, it would be fantastic to see the contrast between the 100 m.p.h. Verlander and the knuckleballer to start the game.

But ultimately it kind of doesn?t matter given how short pitcher outings are in this thing. R.A. Dickey has been better than Matt Cain so far this year, but Cain has been pretty damn fantastic too, so as a controversy, I?m guessing it won?t have long legs.

Unless of course La Russa?s explanation for it is nonsensical again, like it was with the Cueto/Greinke snubs.
