MLB Power Rankings: Week 10

1. Dodgers (43-22): Once again the Dodgers are on top after going 4-2 last week and taking two of three from the streaking Rangers. A big thanks should go to Dodgers' great pitching staff with an overall ERA of 3.72. Last week: 1

2. Red Sox (39-25): The Red Sox continue to be one of the most consistent teams in the AL. They've won six of their last seven which was against two worthy opponents; the Phillies and the Yankees. The AL East may not end up being as close of a race as we originally thought.
Last week: 4

3. Yankees (37-27): The Yanks have nothing to be upset over except for one major thing...they can't beat those dang Red Sox. They're now 0-8 to start the season against Boston which hasn't happened since Babe Ruth was still happily wearing a Boston uniform.
Last week: 2

4. Rangers (36-27): Look who just crashed the Top 5 party thanks to some great hitting by guys like Ian Kinsler (17 HR, 46 RBI) and Nelson Cruz (17 HR, 43 RBI). Now if they can just get Josh Hamilton back from injury then this team will be very dangerous coming out of the AL West. Last week: NR

5. Phillies (36-26): Once again the Phillies have hit a dry spell. They're 4-6 in their last ten games and the pitching has looked awful. They've already blown ten saves this season. Lucky for the Phillies the rest of the NL East hasn't looked any better. Last week: 3

Almost In:

Brewers (36-29): The Brewers fell out of the Top 5 but that's no reason to panic. They still look like a good pick to win the division. The pitching staff just obviously needs to get better.

Angels (35-29): Looks like the Angles aren't ready to let the Rangers run away with the division crown. They're coming off of impressive sweeps over the Padres and Giants in interleague play.

Dropped from the rankings: Brewers (36-29)
