Mike Harrington's MLB Power Rankings

1. Los Angeles Dodgers. Prohibitive favorite to finally nab first World Series title since 1988. (1)

2. Tampa Bay Rays. So deep in every facet. (3)

3. Minnesota Twins. Bubble playoffs a bummer for a club that hit weekend 23-5 at home. (4) 

4. Oakland Athletics. First AL West title since 2013. (2).

5. San Diego Padres. So much fun to watch. First playoff berth since '06. (7)

6. Atlanta Braves. Third straight NL East crown but need to end streak of eight straight NLDS losses. (9)

7. Chicago White Sox. Struggling down the stretch. (6)

8. Cleveland Indians. Ramirez provides walkoff magic to stun Sox. (5). 

9. Chicago Cubs. Best in NL Central all summer. (8)

10. New York Yankees. Don't seem very dangerous outside of the Bronx. (11)

11. Toronto Blue Jays. 2020, man. What a story. (12)

12. St. Louis Cardinals. Might need to play makeup DH Monday in Detroit to decide playoff fate. (16)

14. Miami Marlins. Finish in Bronx trying to hold off Phillies. (13) 

15. Houston Astros. Bubbles are fine. Entered weekend 9-20 on road. (10)

17. Philadelphia Phillies. One of worst bullpens in history ruined season. (17)

18. Milwaukee Brewers. Big underachievers. (20)
