0.000 HBDWeek 5 Power Rankings
<br> 1. Boston Red Sox 25-9: Boston has to be concerned with the MVP candidate’s health. He’s been removed from multiple games now. Boston needs Mookie. 2. New York Yankees 24-10: Have won 17 of their last 20. 3. Arizona D-Backs 23-11: Matt Koch beat Verlander and Kershaw in head to head matchups this week. Special. 4. Houston Astros 21-15: Houston’s pitching staff continues to be the best in the league, substance or not. 5. Los Angeles Angels 21-13: Pujols gets his 3000thand the Angels are rolling. 6. New York Mets 17-15: The Dark Knight has finally been ousted. 7. St. Louis Cardinals 20-12: One of the reasons for the Cards turnaround? Not giving up the long ball. Only 22 so far, lowest in the league. 8. Colorado Rockies 20-15: Rockies are playing pretty well given it’s May and they’ve only have a league low 12 home games. 9. Seattle Mariners 19-14: In the week that saw Ichiro move on, Dee Gordon has slapped hits everywhere getting 16 hits in a 5 game span. 10.
