1. Los Angeles Dodgers
Even without Manny Ramirez, the Dodgers has held the top spot in the power rankings for practically the entire season.

2. Philadelphia Phillies
After a slow start, the Phillies are starting to turn it on. The defending World Series champions are 8-2 over their last ten games.

3. Boston Red Sox
If the Red Sox can get some starting pitching, the rest of their team looks very strong. But right now, the starting pitching is horrid.

4. New York Yankees
The Yankees are another team that started slowly but they’ve turned it around. Since Alex Rodriguez returned, the entire squad has played much better.

5. Texas Rangers
Although the Rangers have a good record, it’s just difficult to take the Ragers seriously. Are they going to tank again once the summer heats up? Time will tell.
