The Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves continue to lead MLB power rankings, the only two teams to hold the No. 1 spot this season. The Dodgers stay at No. 2 with a 36-20 record, while Atlanta remains at No. 1 despite injuries to key players like Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy. The Yankees have stayed in the top five every week, with Cleveland reaching its highest ranking at No. 6 (33-25).

Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski has been electric, throwing 57 pitches of at least 100 mph in one game - the most since velocity tracking began in 2008. Tampa Bay's pitching trio of Nick Martinez (1.51 ERA), Drew Rasmussen (2.78 ERA), and Shane McClanahan (2.52 ERA) has propelled them to No. 3. New York's Cam Schlittler has emerged as a Cy Young contender with a 1.50 ERA through 12 starts.

Arizona made its top-10 debut at No. 8, thanks largely to Eduardo Rodriguez's bounce-back season (2.31 ERA). The Cubs have fallen dramatically from first place in the NL Central to last after losing 10 straight games. Kyle Schwarber's power surge (13 homers in 31 days) has kept the Phillies afloat at No. 9, while the Pirates have transformed from baseball's worst offense to one of the league's best.
