MLB Power Rankings Baseball season has not disappointed, unless you’re a fan of one of the bottom-tier teams. We are nearly three weeks into the 2024 season and we are seeing a large shakeup among teams. Truly, we don’t have near enough data to assume these are the way the …

We are quickly approaching the “dog days” of summer, and health will play a huge factor in this team’s success. We have already seen teams drop in not just these rankings, but in the MLB standings due to injuries and I fear it will only get worse. We have seen a steady increase in injuries year over year and the issue only seems to be getting worse. Now, I’m not a doctor and don’t play one on television, but there must be an explanation. The issue is, that no one seems to have one.

Taking 2 weeks in between power rankings seems a bit more feasible for seeing jumps and drops. We are wrapping up week 6 as I sit and type this and man, were there some doozies across the majors these last 2 weeks. The teams that have routinely occupied the cellar remain there as it seems it’s going to be one looonnnggg season for some of us out there (I’m right there with you), while the teams that we fully expected to occupy the ceiling are just continuing to show why it pays to have money in baseball. Some of these rankings may seem a bit reactive, but baseball is a rather streaky sport. We have to take into account hot and cold streaks when it comes to ranking these teams or else we get caught in take-lock and no one benefits from that. I hope your team is in the top 10 and if it isn’t well then call up your GM and tell them to make some moves or you’ll rescind your fanbase card. Let’s see where our teams have landed!
