There are various milestones throughout the Major League Baseball season, dates on the calendar where it’s always easy to see how the standings have changed and which teams are on the move or on the decline. Such is the case with this week’s MLB Power Rankings on the heels of Mother’s Day.

Where do all 30 MLB teams stand in our most recent MLB Power Rankings?

Some of those dates on the calendar that are celebrated during the season and double as mile markers on the march to October include Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Father’s Day, the Fourth of July, the All-Star Game, and Labor Day. With the pink bats on full display on Sunday, we know we have reached one of the first milestone dates of the 2022 campaign.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the teams who are dominating (the four teams from Los Angeles and New York are among the top six MLB squads in terms of winning percentage) and those teams who are struggling mightily (the Oakland Athletics and Boston Red Sox are skidding down the American League standings).

Where do all of those teams fit into this week’s MLB Power Rankings? Let’s take a look.
