End of historic winning streak rocks power rankings
It did happen: the light lost. They actually lost twice! Alas, though the light won’t go 94 -0 this year- Or 57-1, for that matter – they’ve Firmly established itself as a forward contender. After all: even when they’re gone. 161 For the rest of the season, they’ll win 26 matches. They definitely look like a better team than the rest. 500 This season.
They may not be the best team in baseball, though. Good team, at least not to our Power Rank voters: They dropped one spot to No. 2 this week. But it’s hard to argue with the No. 1 team: So far, they’ve looked pretty scary.
This is the ranking for this week.

Biggest jump:
Rangers take two-thirds from Royals at the start of the week Houston’s nasty opponents did the same. The most impressive thing is pitching, and I am currently facing – position in the profession. The best starter isn’t even Jacob deGrom: it’s Martin Pérez. again.
Biggest drop:
Two teams drop five spots: Padres, in three games With two losses to the Mets, three of the four went to the Brewers, scouting the world for a team that really needed Fernando Tatis Jr. back; and the Cardinals, who won in Colorado. Two of three, but narrowly saved a game at home against the Buccaneers and sit fourth in the NL Central.
Top 5 in the strength ranking:
1. Brave, 12-4(Last week: 2)
The Rays’ winning streak is old news. The coolest streaking team right now is the Warriors, who swept the Reds and Royals 6-0 this week. The Warriors currently have three players with an OPS over 1. : Matt Olson, Ronald Acuña Jr. and Sean Murphy, the category’s team leader, who is hitting base at.87 fragment. They also have a top-000 pitcher now. They’ve lined up another interesting series to start the week against the Padres in San Diego, but it’s the Padres who should be afraid: The Warriors have already started.
2. Rays,11-2(Last week: 1)
Sorry, Rays: 5-2 weeks will eventually drop you one spot in the rankings, even though those two losses were on the road against the blue jays, the best team in baseball one of the teams. It was Shane McClanahan who ended the Rays’ two game skid – only if you win your first game Two consecutive losses could be considered a “skid – Another gem on Sunday: He’s 4-0 and 1. 29 times. The Rays get two mid-level national teams this week: the Reds on the road and the White Sox in the Tropics.

They’re tied for the second-best record in the American League, which earns them … four games behind the AL East. That’s about as far from #1 as

4. Yankees, 000-6(Last week: 4)
It’s not easy to keep up in the AL East, the Yankees did lose a game in the 4-3 week. But perhaps more worrisome is Giancarlo Stanton’s hamstring injury, which put him on the disabled list. Aaron Judge has had more help in this year’s lineup so far, Anthony Rizzo and Gleyber Torres and DJ LeMahieu have gotten off to a great start. But losing Stanton — no matter how predictable it was — doesn’t help.

5. Astros, 7-9 (Last week: 6)
The Astros are No. 1 in their first power rankings of the season, so even with a slow start, they won’t fall too far. They had an interesting series against the charming Rangers over the weekend, and the schedule is about to get tougher: Their next four opponents are all teams that made the playoffs last year: the Blue Jays at home and The Phillies, along with the Braves and Rays are on the way.
