MLB Power Rankings
30. Cincinnati Reds (6-23) ↔️
Sell the team, Bob.
29. Detroit Tigers (8-20) ⬇️ 2
You won’t find a lineup struggling more than the Tigers right now, as they’re hitting below the Mendoza line in their past 12 games.
28. Kansas City Royals (9-17) ⬆️ 1
Only three teams have single-digit wins right now, and the Royals are the best of the trio. Congrats, KC!

27. Washington Nationals (10-20) ⬇️ 1
For the second straight week: TRADE JUAN SOTO.
26. Pittsburgh Pirates (12-16) ⬇️ 2
On a similar note, call up Oneil Cruz.
25. Baltimore Orioles (12-17) ⬆️ 3
Austin Hays looks really cool, so that’s neat! Also, call up Adley Rutschman already.
24. Boston Red Sox (10-19) ⬇️ 5
This team is a bigger waste of money than buying Blockbuster stock back in the 2000s.
23. Oakland Athletics (11-18) ⬇️ 3
Oakland will always be there to upset some contenders, but the days of bringing nobodies to the playoffs are over.
22. Texas Rangers (11-16) ⬆️ 3
The Rangers are looking a little better as of late, but there are just way too many holes in the pitching staff to think they’ll win more than 75 games.
21. Chicago Cubs (10-18) ⬆️ 1
There’s a reason the bleacher creatures drink enough beers to make 100-foot-long cup snakes.
20. Arizona Diamondbacks (16-14) ⬆️ 3
Low key, Arizona kinda looks nice right now. I’m sure they’ll lose like 20 straight later this year, but good for them being above .500 a month into the season.
19. Philadelphia Phillies (13-16) ⬇️ 4
When you have negative defense to support the overrated pitching staff in Philly, you won’t get great results.
18. Cleveland Guardians (15-14) ⬆️ 3
This team is very very average. Jose Ramirez is a beast, though.
17. Seattle Mariners (13-17) ⬇️ 10
I can’t believe I had Seattle at No. 3 just two weeks ago. I can’t get a good read on them AT ALL.
16. Chicago White Sox (14-14) ⬆️ 2
Just when I thought they were turning things around, the White Sox blew a six-run lead in the ninth inning to the Guardians. YIKES.
15. Atlanta Braves (14-16) ⬆️ 2
Ronald Acuña Jr. has given the Braves a nice jolt of late, but we’ll see if they have enough pitching to make the postseason and defend their title.

14. Miami Marlins (13-16) ⬇️ 1
I have a feeling that Miami will surprise everyone and sneak into the playoffs with that nasty pitching staff of theirs.
prop bet
+270

Bet $20, Payout $74
13. Colorado Rockies (16-13) ⬆️ 3
I think Colorado’s downfall is going to happen soon and we’ll see them as they really are: a bunch of frauds.
12. St. Louis Cardinals (16-12) ⬇️ 2
I wouldn’t call St. Louis contenders just yet, but how cool would it be to see the old guys win one together?
11. Tampa Bay Rays (18-12) ↔️
I’ll never understand how the Rays compete every year without any real superstars, although Wander Franco is surely turning into one.
10. Los Angeles Angels (20-11) ⬇️ 2
I still can’t completely buy into this Angels team just yet. Taylor Ward looks like Mike Trout 2.0 though, which is neat.
9. San Francisco Giants (17-12) ⬇️ 3
San Francisco just had a BRUTAL week, but I trust this team will be a force in the NL West when fully healthy.
8. Milwaukee Brewers (19-11) ⬆️ 1
What else is there to say other than Rowdy Tellez is the greatest player on the planet?
7. Minnesota Twins (18-11) ⬆️ 7
Alright, FINE! I’ll buy into the Twins being contenders this year.
prop bet
-180
Twins To Make 2022 MLB Playoffs
Bet $20, Payout $31
6. Houston Astros (18-11) ⬆️ 6
Don’t look now, but the Astros have won eight of their last 10 games and are tearing the cover off the ball.
5. Toronto Blue Jays (17-13) ⬇️ 1
Kevin Gausman and Alek Manoah are a couple of aces supporting an already terrifying lineup in Toronto.
4. San Diego Padres (19-11) ⬆️ 1
It’s scary to think San Diego’s lineup looks THIS dangerous without Fernando Tatis, Jr.
3. New York Yankees (20-8) ↔️
This Yankees squad has the firepower and arms to bring ring No. 28 to the Bronx.
prop bet
+800

2. New York Mets (20-10) ⬇️ 1
When you combine the best pitching staff in baseball with a clutch-hitting lineup, good things happen.
1. Los Angeles Dodgers (19-8) ⬆️ 1
If you doubled the Mets’ run differential, you’d still have to add two more runs to reach where the Dodgers are at. They’re THAT good.
