ESPN的Week 26 MLB Power Rankings break down the final days of the 2026 regular season. The Astros and Rangers are tied atop the AL West, with the loser likely missing the playoffs entirely. In the AL, the Guardians and White Sox battle for the division title, while the NL wild-card race is a three-way tie between the Phillies, Cubs, and Padres.

The Milwaukee Brewers lead the rankings at 99-59, but concerns grow over Kyle Harrison's declining performance. The Los Angeles Dodgers (97-61) are getting healthy just in time, with Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Will Smith back in the lineup. The Tampa Bay Rays (96-62) clinched their first division title since 2021 and enter the postseason as AL pennant favorites.

The Atlanta Braves (93-65) can rest key players as they prepare for the playoffs.
