With several of the bottom teams in the game riding hot streaks, this week’s edition of the MLB Power Rankings has quite a few changes.
We are still early enough in the season where a hot streak or two can shake up the MLB Power Rankings. Likewise, a cold streak can send a team dropping down the ranks, especially if the teams around them are performing well. And then, for those teams that we keep waiting to have the switch go on and to start to perform, there comes a time when the waiting has to end.
All of those aforementioned thoughts factored in to this week’s Power Rankings. There has been quite a bit of a shakeup amongst the standings. A new team has taken over the top spot, and two teams have entered the top ten for the first time this season.
Meanwhile, several teams have dropped in the rankings. The Chicago Cubs, in particular, have plummeted down the board, as they have dropped below .500 and are looking thoroughly lifeless on the field. One has to think that they will improve, but it is no longer a matter of when that will happen.
Let us take a look through this week’s MLB Power Rankings as we head into Week Seven.There is certainly a lot to go over from Week Six.
