The Milwaukee Brewers remain at No. 1 for the second straight week after a dominant 22-0 win over the Mariners, extending their NL Central lead to five games. Behind Jacob Misiorowski, who pitched six strong innings against the Dodgers, the Brewers continue to pull away in the division.

The Atlanta Braves climbed to No. 3, surpassing the Rays, while the Padres jumped to No. 9, entering the NL wild-card race. San Diego's 8-2 surge has revitalized their offense, pushing their scoring pace above 690 runs after a slow start.

The Orioles made the biggest leap, rising to No. 16, with the Blue Jays close behind at No. 18. Both teams are firmly in the AL wild-card mix. The Yankees and Red Sox remain locked in a tight battle, with Aaron Judge's potential return serving as a key X-factor for New York.
