Another week of MLB action is down and its time once again for our weekly MLB Power Rankings.

Let’s see where the Atlanta Braves and all other teams stack up in this week’s MLB Power Rankings.

1. Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers are once again at the top of these rankings. This team is obviously good at all facets of the game but what pops out at you is the team’s 25-7 record at home this season.

2. Houston Astros

Another ho-hum week for the Astros. Certainly the favorite in the American League at the moment, some would still call them the favorites in the entire game.

3. Minnesota Twins

Eddie Rosario right now should be a starter in the American League in the All-Star game. I’m sure he won’t be because of the bigger sexier names, but he should be based on his play.

4. New York Yankees

Losing back-to-back series against Toronto and Cleveland has dropped the Yankees back into a tie for the AL East lead. Still, they are the favorites considering all the players soon to be back from the IL.

5. Tampa Bay Rays

As soon as you think Tampa is about to fall out of the race and into strictly the Wild Card mix, they make a little run and get back even with the Yankees. If Blake Snell would return to 2018 Snell, they might make an even more surprising run.

6. Chicago Cubs

Cubs fans are flying high today after a 3-game sweep over the arch-rival Cardinals over the weekend. It’s starting to look like the Cubs and Brewers are going to have a fun summer with each other.

7. Milwaukee Brewers

Speaking of the Brewers, they won 4 straight to close out the week. However, that did come right after getting shelled in back-to-back games against Miami. Oh, and Christian Yelich may have 30 home runs by the All-Star break.

8. Philadelphia Phillies

The Phillies blew a late lead against the Reds Sunday and saw the division lead shrink to one game. Philadelphia keeps mounting injuries daily to the bullpen, the latest being Seranthony Dominguez.

9. Atlanta Braves

With the ability to close in a game on the Phillies Sunday, the Atlanta Braves pulled off a minor miracle and erased a 4 run deficit in the 9th against Miami. Let’s hope they get some redemption against Pittsburgh this week now.

10. Colorado Rockies

After a long winning streak, the Rockies have now dropped 4 out of it’s last 6. They will look to regroup this week as they open up a series with the Cubs to start off this week — not an easy task.
