    MLB Power Rankings: Here Come The Brewers; A New Number One

    This weeks power rankings features another significant change in the top five. It all starts with the Milwaukee Brewers dismantling the Cub’s franchise and staying red hot against the Pirates. The White Sox handled their business against the Twins, but were less than stellar against the Tigers only winning one game in their three game series against them. That allowed the Brewers into the top five this week and dropping the White Sox out of the top five.

    Another change in the top five is that there is a new number one team this week. The Dodgers took over the top spot over the Giants for one reason and one reason only. They were able to take care of business against their division rival Giants earlier last week to propel their nine game win streak.

    Let’s take a closer look at this weeks top five.

    Top Five

    1. Los Angeles Dodgers (Prev. 3)

    After getting swept by the Padres a couple weeks ago and getting no-hit against the Cubs in game one of their three game set, the Dodgers went off. They went on to win the next 9 games in row and swept their division rival Giants in a two game series. So their is no question who should be in this weeks top spot. The Dodgers pitching staff has been phenomenal all year. Especially in the last 15 days. In the last 15 days, the Dodgers pitching staff has an ERA of 2.62, struck out 134 batters, and have a WHIP of 1.13. They should have a pretty easy week this week as they will be starting a 4 game series against the Marlins, then a three game series against the Diamondbacks.

    2. San Francisco Giants (Prev. 1)

    The Giants lose the top spot this week after losing both games of their two-game series against the Dodgers. They still hold the best overall win percentage in baseball, and in their last 10 games, they are 6-4. Over the last 15 days, the Giants offense has been pretty pedestrian and they have been getting it done with their brilliant pitching. In that stretch, the Giants pitching staff has an ERA of 2.66, they only allowed 71 hits, gave up 31 earned runs, struck out 113, and have an amazing WHIP of 0.98. This coming week, they will be playing a three game set against the Cardinals, then playing three games against the Nationals.

    3. Boston Red Sox (Prev. 5)

    The Red Sox continue their rise in this weeks power rankings. They are 9-1 in their last 10 games, and in the last week, they swept the Yankees, Royals, and took 2 out of three games against the Athletics. The Red Sox are getting it done with both offense and defense too. In the last 15 days, their offense has been starting to heat up as they are batting .268, with 16 home runs, 68 RBI, and 24 doubles. Their pitching has been even better during that stretch. They have an ERA of 2.60, with 43 walks, 114 strikeouts, and a WHIP of 1.24. They will be playing two very winnable series this week against the Angels and the Phillies.

    4. Milwaukee Brewers (Prev. 9)

    The biggest mover in our power rankings of the week are your Milwaukee Brewers. The Brew Crew only rattled off 11 wins in a row and completely dismantled the Cubs organization in the process. In the series sweep against the Cubs, the Brewers offense outscored the Cubs 31 runs to 12. Then they kept the train rolling against the Pirates outscoring them 25-8. That means they outscored their opponents in the last week 56-20. I think that it’s safe to say, that is pretty darn good. They are also the only team in the top 5 getting it done with a dual attack with their offense and defense. In the last 15 days, their offense has been hitting .258, with 19 home runs, 80 RBI, and 28 extra base hits. Their pitching has been terrific also. In that stretch, they have a record of 11-2, with an ERA of  2.45, only gave up 76 hits, 33 earned runs, struck out 136 batters, and had a WHIP of 1.12. This week, they will be playing a three-game series against the Mets, then will be heading home to take on the Reds in a four-game series.

    5. Houston Astros (Prev. 2)

    The Astros fall to the fifth spot of our power rankings this week after going 5-5 in their last 10 games. They probably had one of the weirdest week that you will see in baseball. The Astros got swept in three games by the Orioles, and then came back and swept the Indians in four games. In the last 15 days, their offense and defensive haven’t been amazing but they haven’t been terrible either. During that stretch, their offense is batting .260, with 15 home runs, and 74 RBI. Throughout that same stretch, their pitching staff has an ERA of 3.46, giving up 47 earned runs, 43 walks, and striking out 132 batters. This week they will be facing the Athletics in a three-game series, then they will be playing the Yankees in a three-game series.
