Current MLB Power Rankings

The latest MLB power rankings have seen a significant shift at the top, with the Dodgers reclaiming the number one spot from the Braves. This change comes on the back of standout performances from Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and Teoscar Hernandez. Meanwhile, the Yankees have surged to the top of the standings with a five-game win streak, boasting the best record in the majors at 10-3. Surprisingly, the Pirates and Guardians also find themselves near the top of the rankings after strong starts to the season.
