MLB Power Rankings: Can the Chicago Cubs be stopped?

The Brewers are the second-worst team in the majors in run differential as they are at -47 runs for the season compared to those they’ve faced this season, but they did just come off a series against a team worse than them in at least relief pitching in the Cincinnati Reds, splitting a four-game series. One plus for the Brewers is they are tied for ninth in the majors with 133 RBIs, roughly the same as the Washington Nationals following Sunday’s games, and they are just three games away from tying the St. Louis Cardinals in the win column.. .

This team should never be this bad, and even though they did defeat the Boston Red Sox twice this weekend, they are still a shell of themselves with just 11 wins and a 4-10 mark on the road. The past 10 games, the Yankees have gone 3-7, and being they are in the bottom of run differentials this season, plus being 27th out of 30 in home runs with 24 thus far, the Bronx Bombers are not the Yankees we’ve become accustomed to watching over the years.. .

. Previous: . Los Angeles Angels. 24. team. 102. The Angels need the start flapping their arms in the outfield, hoping the Disney movie can occur in real life, because they have just 13 wins this season and are 3-7 in their past 10 games. They’ve had some injuries to their pitching, and some of their power hitting isn’t that powerful anymore, leaving them five games out of first place entering the week but losers of three consecutive games. Their pitching has the 12th-best ERA in the majors (3.83), but their batting has them with just 25 home runs, 24th-best in the majors.

135. The Astros might be stepping up their play with a 5-5 mark in their past 10 games and being on the verge of having a .500 record at home. Houston won two-of-three over the Seattle Mariners this past weekend and in their series before won two-of-three versus the Minnesota Twins. Houston has won four of their past six games<span class=. . Previous: . Houston Astros. 23. team
