MLB Players Power Rankings: Top 5 Offensive Dynamic Duos
By Manny Gómez
You can’t have an MLB Players ranking without the Yankees and Dodgers.
FOUR: Mookie Betts and Corey Seager
This quite possibly not pair of MLB players you expected to see coming out of Los Angeles for this Power Rankings. In fact, you were probably expecting to see Cody Bellinger featured in here somewhere.
Well, your eyes aren’t lying. Corey Seager is finally having his breakout season, and he’s doing it alongside NL MVP candidate Mookie Betts (aka “Mike Trout Adjacent”).
Like Tatis and Machado, this dynamic duo does everything extremely well. Unfortunately, they just haven’t made the type of impact the remaining duos have on their respective franchises.
As it stands, of the five duos featured in this piece, Betts and Seager rank fourth in combined OPS, wOBA, wRC+, and fWAR. Add Bellinger, Trea Turner, and Max Muncy to the list and the Dodgers are definitely the most feared team in MLB right now.

THREE: DJ LeMahieu and Luke Voit
Like with the Dodgers, DJ LeMahieu and Luke Voit were probably not the pair of hitters you thought you’d see being featured for the Yankees. In fact, you probably expected to see Aaron Judge and either Giancarlo Stanton and Gleyber Torres.
The fact is, LeMahieu and Voit have been the most important pair of players, on the offensive side, for the Yankees this season. What’s more, they both bring different styles of play to the table.
In the case of LeMahieu, he’s a master contact hitter who leads MLB with a .365 AVG and a top-10 OPS of 1.012, which is actually higher than Mike Trouts 1.004 OPS. Voit, on the other hand, brings power to the table. His .630 SLG ranks 5th in MLB while his 21 HR leads the sport.
