Baseball's power rankings are in, and the Dodgers are still on top. But the real story here is the Mets' struggles and the Blue Jays' rise. The Dodgers' bullpen may be wobbly, but they still have a strong lineup and a deep pitching rotation. The Yankees, meanwhile, are led by Aaron Judge, who is having a career year. The Braves are making real headway, and the Cubs are on a dominant streak. The Padres' Mason Miller is on an incredible scoreless inning streak, and the Reds are hitting more of late. The Pirates' Paul Skenes is flirting with a no-hitter, and the Tigers' Spencer Torkelson is on a hot streak. The Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski threw the fastest strikeout pitch since 2008, and the Diamondbacks' Alek Thomas homered in the Mexico City Series. The Rays' Shane McClanahan earned his first win at Tropicana Field since June 2023, and the Rangers' Peyton Gray made his MLB debut. The A's are back in first place, and the Mariners are still in good shape. The Orioles' Adley Rutschman is hitting like Adley Rutschman again, and the Cardinals' Riley O'Brien is one of the best relievers in the sport. The Marlins are benefiting from the Mets' and Phillies' implosion, and the Blue Jays' Kazuma Okamoto is looking like a Bo Bichette replacement. The Twins are struggling, and the Giants honored Brandon Belt with a day celebrating his unique sense of humor. The Angels' Jo Adell is not off to a great start, and the Mets' Freddy Peralta is struggling. The Astros are walking hitters at an alarming rate, and the Phillies are on a losing streak. The Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora, and the Nationals' pitching is the source of their woes. The White Sox' Munetaka Murakami is tied for the MLB lead in homers, and the Royals won their first game of the year with Cole Ragans pitching. The Rockies' Ethan Holliday is showing off his stuff in the Minors.
