It's because the AL is technically the "home" team for the ASG this year. Manfred basically decided to stop having the AL and NL switch off on being the home team because there are loads of NL parks that haven't had it yet. Cincy last year, San Diego this year, Miami next year, Washington in 2018.

So now regardless of venue it's just AL as the home team on even years, NL on odd years. The home team bats in the bottom half of innings and wears their home whites. Pretty dumb IMO.
