The 2024 MLB season is well underway, so be sure to check in on this page for our MLB Power Rankings.
These rankings will emphasize current performance while accounting for projections for the rest of the season.
You can think of them as a hierarchy of each team in MLB at this stage of the year, but remember — it’s not just going to be an order of each team’s record — that’s what standings are for.
So without further ado, let’s get right into our 2024 MLB Power Rankings.

MLB Power Rankings: Moving Up
New York Mets (+12)
The Mets have gone 17-9 since my last update, putting their record at 49-46 for the season.
This team now has a one-game lead on the final NL Wild Card spot.
With Kodai Senga getting closer to a return, the Mets are on the rise.
Boston Red Sox (+8)
What a season for the Red Sox, led by pitching breakouts from Tanner Houck and Kutter Crawford.
Boston has gone 19-8 since my last update, currently holding a two-game lead on the final AL Wild Card spot.
Jarren Duran has been phenomenal this year, putting up 3.7 WAR so far.
Houston Astros (+4)
It feels like ages ago that the Astros got off to a poor start to this season.
This team has gone 19-8 since my last update, pushing themselves to only one game back of the Mariners for the AL West lead.
Kyle Tucker should be back soon, so it’s wheels up for the Astros.
MLB Power Rankings: Moving Down
New York Yankees (-5)
The Yankees have been in a real rough patch since my last update, losing 19 of their last 28 games.
But there is light at the end of the tunnel, as Gerrit Cole is now back and healthy.
The All-Star Break came at the perfect time for this struggling side — expect them to get back on track in the second half.
Kansas City Royals (-4)
The Royals have fallen out of an AL Wild Card spot, going 13-15 since my last update.
This team was always underachieving, so it’s not surprising to see a consistent decline over the last two months.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see Kansas City continue to fall further down these ranks as we hit the stretch run.
Seattle Mariners (-4)
The Mariners have gone 12-16 since the last update, barely clinging onto their AL West lead, which has fallen to only one game.
However, this is still a team with a loaded pitching staff. They would do well to add a bat at the deadline to help out a struggling offense.
I’d be shocked if they didn’t improve this lineup through trade — once that happens, expect the M’s to get going once again. I still like this team as a World Series contender.
