Power Ranking: September 18th

Power Rankings: September 18th

1.     Boston Red Sox
2.     Oakland A’s
3.     Detroit Tigers
4.     St. Louis Cardinals
5.     Atlanta Braves
6.     Los Angeles Dodgers
7.     Cincinnati Reds
8.     Cleveland Indians
9.     Pittsburgh Pirates
10. Kansas City Royals
This is a very tough week because so many teams are doing well but may not have much of a play in the playoffs; Angels, Nationals, Padres and Giants had very solid weeks and have been messing with teams that are trying for the playoffs.  The biggest change to the rankings this time is 2 teams are missing.  The Rangers and Rays have both had just terrible weeks and not just weeks but the Rangers have had such a terrible month that I don’t think they’re making the playoffs this year.  The Rays have managed to pick it up in the last few days of the weeks but they’re close to missing the playoffs too.  The Royals and Indians are making such strong pushes right now that one of these two has a strong chance to make the playoffs knocking out the Rangers.  The other thing that should be noted is how strong the A’s look right now and they’re primed to run away with the division.

Bottom 5:
            26. Chicago White Sox
            27. Chicago Cubs
            28. New York Mets
            29. Houston Astros
            30. Miami Marlins

Really no surprises here, though as a personal note the Astros may be losing but have actually been one of the better teams with RISP and the pitching has been pretty good.  A good team is a few years away.
