Cubs and Rays Climb, the East Settles Down
Our team power ranking — record, run differential and recent form in one order.

Power Rankings
Power ranking — record, run differential and recent form, blended into one order. Tap a team for its week.
Los Angeles holds at number one with a run differential of plus-152, and Freddie Freeman's 11-for-23 week kept any doubt at bay. The Cubs jumped three spots to third on a 6-1 run powered by Dansby Swanson's 15 RBI, and the Rays climbed five to fourth as Junior Caminero went a preposterous 11-for-26 with seven homers. Underneath, the Braves slid three spots and the Yankees six after each lost five of six, while the Rangers (up 14) and Red Sox (up 16) made the week's biggest leaps.
