MLB Power Rankings: Yankees hold steady at the top, Cardinals charging hard
There’s no change at the top from last week’s MLB Power Rankings to this week’s, but the results of last week have forced a little shakeup from the second spot on down. 1. New York Yankees (82-48) Their midweek series loss to the Rangers was just their second series loss in the second half and [...]
Angels can only win with Scott Kazmir trade
According to reports, the Los Angeles Angels are close to bolstering their rotation in a big way by acquiring pitcher Scott Kazmir from the Tampa Bay Rays for prospects Alexander Torres and Matthew Sweeney. On the surface, the Angels already had one of the league’s best rotations based on talent alone. However, injuries have been [...]
MLB Power Rankings: Rockies rising to the occasion
We’re edging towards the final month of baseball’s regular season, and though a few division title races are starting to look done and dusted, a couple of divisions are still very much up for grabs, and so are the wild card spots in both the American League and National League. There are some changes from [...]
MLB Power Rankings: Yankees hold steady at top spot
Sincerest apologies about not posting the power rankings for the last couple of weeks, but I’ve been a little sidetracked. But, I’m back at it this week, though instead of the 1-30 through as I did previously, I’ve condensed it to a top 10. 1. New York Yankees (74-44) It’s Christmas in August for Yankees [...]
MLB Power Rankings: Yankees edge closer to top spot
Yes yes, these are late once again, which means I’m going sans comments this week, but I will say that I’m still scratching my head as to how the Mariners contrived to look so horrible against the Indians at home after winning three of four in Cleveland just a week prior. 1. Los Angeles Dodgers [...]
MLB Power Rankings: Split enough to keep Dodgers on top
This week’s MLB power rankings are a little on the late side, but here they are. Just for the purposes of clarification, the rankings and records are reflective of the action through Sunday. 1. Los Angeles Dodgers (58-34) Dropped the first two at home against the Astros but rebounded to take the last two. L.A. [...]
MLB Power Rankings: Dodgers stay top at the break
In last week’s MLB power rankings, the Los Angeles Dodgers took top spot from the Boston Red Sox, capitalizing on the Red Sox’ bullpen woes to nab top spot in my book. Both teams had successful weeks last week, so the order at the top will remain the same as we hit the All-Star break. [...]
MLB Power Rankings: Dodgers take over first
In last week’s MLB Power Rankings, the Boston Red Sox held the top spot over the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, the Red Sox’ bullpen had issues taking care of business in a few games last week, and as a result, their stay at the top is a short one. Here’s a look at this week’s [...]
MLB Power Rankings: Red Sox roll to top spot
The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to sport the best record in baseball, but do they top my initial MLB power rankings? (Records through June 28) 1. Boston Red Sox (46-29) After taking two of three at Washington and doing the same at Atlanta, the Red Sox have won their last six series and sport a [...]
