MLB Power Rankings: Opening Day Edition
On what is officially being considered as Opening Day across Major League Baseball, where do we think the teams will finish? Welcome to our initial MLB Power Rankings for the season.
Today, the season truly begins. While there were three games yesterday, today, most of the MLB gets started. It is Opening Day, a day that should be a national holiday. Spring is officially here, regardless of what the six inches of snow on my lawn may say.
It is a time of hope around the game as well. Virtually every team heads into the season expecting to compete, even if those beliefs are unrealistic. The fanbases are energized, either to watch the younger players come up and hopefully start the next run of contention, or to hope for a return trip to the playoffs.
Where do the 30 MLB teams rank heading into the 2017 campaign? While these rankings will change over the course of the season, we all have to start somewhere. And so, as we celebrate Opening Day, let us take a look at the initial Power Rankings for the coming season.
