The trade deadline has come and went and now the sole focus is on the Atlanta Braves making playoffs. Here we see how they stack up to the rest of the competition in our weekly MLB Power Rankings.

Let’s waste no time and find out where the Atlanta Braves and the rest of baseball are ranked in this week’s MLB Power Rankings

30. Detroit Tigers

The Tigers held onto Matthew Boyd, but as we all know shipped Shane Greene to the Braves in a deal. Good luck to both Travis Demeritte, and Joey Wentz up in the Motor City.

29. Baltimore Orioles

Trey Mancini continues to be one of the few bright spots for an Orioles team that is already on the verge of being eliminated from the playoffs. Although not a sole is surprised by that.

28. Kansas City Royals

Remember when the Royals beat the Braves up pretty good and were playing good baseball? Yeah, they have went 1-9 since. Back to where they were.

27. Miami Marlins

Miami may still be a few years away, but they are quietly and slowly rebuilding a system. It will be interesting to see if they have the patience to let it fully play out or not.

26. Toronto Blue Jays

A 5-2 week is not too bad. The better part for them is it seems Vladimir Guerrero Jr is finding more consistency at the plate as he has raised his average up to .279.

25. Seattle Mariners

What’s worse? Losing 4 in a row after a 6 game winning streak or getting no-hit for the second time in three weeks? Seattle has had both happen to them.

24. Pittsburgh Pirates

It seems as if Pittsburgh is trying to make a run at Miami to be the worst team in the National League. They have went 4-18 since the break. Not good at all.

23. Chicago White Sox

Thanks from Braves country for beating the Phillies two out of three over the weekend. They didn’t move Jose Abreu, so maybe both sides indeed want to continue the relationship after the season?

22. San Diego Padres

The long search for a big time pitcher didn’t materialize at the deadline once again. The Padres have a loaded farm system so I expect them to land one this upcoming winter though.

21. Colorado Rockies

The teams young rotation led by Jon Gray and German Marquez have been better as of late, but its probably too little, too late for the team to make a run at this point.
