The New York Yankees are holding strong at the top of the
American League East Division after another week of baseball being put in the
record books and they are holding strong at the top of the USA Today’s Weekly
MLB Power Rankings as well. For the third straight week the New York Yankees
remained steady at the #3 position in all of Major League Baseball with only
the Houston Astros and the Washington Nationals ahead of them. Let’s check out
the rest of the standings.
You have the Top 3 teams on the list and the fourth and
fifth slot look relatively the same as last week with only the Dodgers and
Orioles swapping spots finishing 4th and 5th
respectively. The Cubs held steady at the 9th position overall while
the Milwaukee Brewers crept into the Top 10. The Boston Red Sox dropped to 13th
while the Tampa Bay Rays climbed to 14th after taking two-of-three
from the Yankees over the weekend. Also keep an eye out on those Toronto Blue
Jays who find themselves suddenly 21st overall. The rankings don’t
suggest it but I still think they are much better than they have shown thus far
this season.
The biggest rise of the week went to the Texas Rangers who
rose five spots, a ten game winning streak has a way of doing that to a team,
to the #11 position while the St. Louis Cardinals were the biggest fall this
week dropping five spots back to the #12 position. These two teams have been
all over the rankings this season both falling in the 20’s while both teams
have also been in the Top 10 at points during the year.
Oh and let me state that I absolutely love the fact that the
New York Mets are 20th. Okay, gloating done. Have a great day
everyone and enjoy the game tonight. I always love watching Luis Severino pitch
and I can remember back in 2015 heading down to Atlanta’s Turner Field and
watching him pitch during his rookie campaign and being impressed as hell.
Impress me again, please?
