Look out baseball world because the New York Yankees are
coming! The USA Today has released their weekly MLB Power Rankings and the New
York Yankees are slugging their way all the way to the top. Again, watch out
because they are coming. Just how high did the Bronx Bombers and this modern
day Murderer’s Row climb? Keep reading.
I won’t be mean and leave you in suspense for long, the
Yankees climbed all the way to the second position on the rankings trailing
only those pesky Houston Astros. The Astros remained in the top spot while the
rest of the Top 5 was rounded out with the Colorado Rockies who also climbed
two spots to the third position, the Washington Nationals who fell two spots to
fourth and the Los Angeles Dodgers who also fell two spots to fifth.
The Yankees have 28 more teams behind them in these rankings
and four teams chasing them in the American League East Division race and those
teams show up on this ranking list as follows. The Boston Red Sox are hanging around
at the #6 position while the Baltimore Orioles fell three spots to the #12
position overall. Getting hammered by the Yankees has a way of doing that to a
team I guess. Meanwhile the Tampa Bay Rays are right behind the Orioles at
lucky #13 after climbing one spot this week while the Toronto Blue Jays are
still quietly hovering around the .500 mark and the 14th spot on the
rankings.
The Minnesota Twins are 9th, the Milwaukee
Brewers are 10th, the Chicago Cubs are 11th and the Miami
Marlins are 27th? What year is this again? There’s a few more
surprises thrown in there too including the New York Mets and the St. Louis
Cardinals but wow. What a season and it’s only June. Stay tuned as these
rankings continue to form and take shape only to be flipped on their heads
again by the July 31st trading deadline.
