Power
Rankings: June 10th-25th
As
the year gets later were starting to see some divisions spread themselves out

Oakland
is just a beast and it’s getting really hard to praise them without repeating
myself over and over again.
They’ve really become the definitive World Series pick at this time and
while there’s still plenty of season to go it’s looking more like its Oakland’s
division to lose. San Fran has
been faltering lately but they’re just as likely to come out of this then
continue. The problem is the
pitching at the moment, which was once the team’s big strength, has just been
average. This slump has come at a
bad time for them and a good time for LA Dodgers who have closed the gap to
within 4 games and are looking like a team that’s really clicking. Toronto needs pitching, I’ve said this
many times and it become more evident with every game the offense
struggles. LA Angels are leading
the Wildcard and look like they could hold it but Seattle is picking up steam
so they have to watch their backs.
Both Washington and Milwaukee have looked pretty sharp as of late and
the rest of the division looks about the same as they have all year. Both divisions have become a 2-team
race and while Washington seems to have the division well in hand at the moment
Milwaukee still has St. Louis nipping at their heels. Kansas City came out of no where and capitalized on a
struggling Detroit to up start themselves right back into the race, one of
these 2 teams is making the playoffs maybe both.

26.
Philadelphia Phillies
27.
San Diego Padres
28.
Arizona Diamondbacks
29.
Chicago Cubs
30.
Tampa Bay Rays
These
teams are just really not looking good are they? Philadelphia is just having that all around problem with
hitting, pitching and fielding all really lacking making most Phillies fan’s I
know cringe. San Diego has actually
had decent pitching so far but the lack of hitting is just a mystery. They have hitters but none of them seem
to be doing anything this year and most have taken a step back from last
season. Arizona keeps looking good
or at least better than they were at the beginning of the season, but as bad as
they were they only could go up.
Chicago is still Chicago but they pitching they’re getting right now
makes them a very interesting trade candidate. Oh Tampa Bay, what happened to this team? Short answer injuries hurt this team
early and ineffective pitching just crippled them. The hitting has always been suspect but the pitching was
always there to back them up and now that Price is on the block its only a
matter of time when this team gets blown up.
