MLB Power Rankings: Cubs, Cubs, Cubs!
By Ron Juckett
As we reach Labor Day and the unofficial start of fall, here is this week’s MLB Power Rankings! Safe to say that a good time is being had on Chicago’s North Side.
Another week has come and gone. With Labor Day here, it is time once again to look at the MLB Power Rankings.
We are now under 30 games to go in the regular season. Tight races in the American League East and both the AL and National League Wild Card races will jumble things around a bit, but by now teams are stable.
With the rosters expanded to 40 players, those at the bottom of the list now get a fresh chance to watch the hopeful stars of tomorrow. Those contending teams will delight in deeper bullpens and everyday players getting a needed day off of rest as we hit the crunch time.
Now with three weeks left, the largest change in any one team is five spots. Although the worst teams in baseball are not historically bad, it is safe to say those at the top of these rankings will be a team that is talked about for years to come regardless of the final outcome.
With all that in mind, where does your favorite team rank through the first 23 weeks of the season? With 10 playoff spots, there is a good chance your club still has October on their minds.
If not, free agency is 10 weeks away.
