No significant changes to the power rankings since we last checked in – though a few pesky surprise teams just won’t go away.
(Last week’s rankings in brackets)
1. (1) Tampa Bay Rays (32-14): Two straight losses to Boston mean they could lose No. 1 spot by next week if they don’t right the ship.
2. (2) Los Angeles Dodgers (25-20): Also holding their spot since none of the top teams went on a run last week.
3. (9) San Diego Padres (27-18): Don’t worry – they won’t stay ahead of the Yankees – but they’re playing better ball at this exact moment.
4. (3) New York Yankees (26-18): With A.J. Burnett back to Earth of late, two fifths or their rotation is suddenly struggling.
5. (5) Toronto Blue Jays (27-21): I can’t imagine how bad the crash will be when it finally comes. Last year, it came in the form of a nine-game losing streak.
6. (14) Boston Red Sox (26-21): Probably baseball’s hottest team right now – but they desperately need more consistent pitching. At least Clay Buchholz looks like he’s here to stay.
7. (4) Philadelphia Phillies (26-18): Are they leaning too hard on Roy Halladay? Doc is running up the highest pitch counts of his career.
8. (6) Minnesota Twins (26-18): Maybe Morneau and Mauer will trade MVP awards back and forth for the next decade.
9. (7) Cincinnati Reds (26-20): Holding strong atop the NL Central – maybe because Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday aren’t at the top of their games?
10. (8) St. Louis Cardinals (26-20): Should we worry about Pujols and Tony La Russa squabbling? No yet.
11. (11) Texas Rangers (26-20): Looks like they’ll repeat last season’s performance – but with a much better chance to win the division this time around.
12. (10) Detroit Tigers (25-20): They have to hope Max Scherzer sorts himself out and returns to the bigs soon; if he regains his form, the Tigers can still make noise in the AL Central.
13. (20) Colorado Rockies (23-22): Something tells me their three-game winning streak is more than just a little surge. They could build on this.
14. (13) Atlanta Braves (23-22): Seeing Jason Heyward totally deliver on his promise through two months is fun stuff.
15. (12) San Francisco Giants (23-21): Went 24 innings without scoring a run during their recent five-game skid. That tells you all you need to know.
16. (15) Florida Marlins (24-22): Is it time to acknowledge Josh Johnson as one of the game’s top 10 pitchers?
17. (19) New York Mets (23-23): Winning the Subway Series was a big morale booster. But do they have the pitching to keep the momentum going?
18. (16) Chicago Cubs (22-24): now that Kosuke Fukudome has started his post-April swoon, Aramis Ramirez needs to get healthy – and good – in a hurry.
19. (22) Oakland Athletics (23-23): Good on them for staying in the AL West race while Brett Anderson was injured.
20. (18) Los Angeles Angels (22-26): The bats are heating up – especially Mike Napoli’s – so it’s too early to count them out.
21. (17) Washington Nationals (23-23)
22. (21) Pittsburgh Pirates (20-26)
23. (26) Arizona Diamondbacks (20-26)
24. (23) Chicago White Sox (19-28)
25. (27) Milwaukee Brewers (18-27)
26. (28) Kansas City Royals (18-28)
27. (30) Seattle Mariners (17-28)
28. (25) Cleveland Indians (17-27)
29. (29) Baltimore Orioles (15-31)
30. (24) Houston Astros (15-30)
