Braves Keep Bashing While Dodgers & Yankees Bounce Back, Mets Continue to Slide

We’ll keep it short and sweet in this week’s rendition of the MLB Power Rankings. Some small movement in the top 10 hasn’t shaken much up, aside from the Angels’ slide and the Yankees and Dodgers picking things up a bit. The margin of error between No. 10 (Angels) and No. 25 (White Sox) is just ten games, so we’re gearing up for a thrilling second-half playoff push. The Reds have cooled. The Braves are still hot. And it might be Atlanta in the No. 1 spot by the All-Star break. Here’s our latest look at the MLB picture.
