MLB Power Rankings: 1-5

5. player. 3. The Mets took advantage of the Phillies and Braves and got themselves pointed in the right direction over the past week. The bats have heated up and that has been backed by solid pitching as well. This team is every bit of what it was last season and should be a fixture of the top five in these rankings.. 11-7. Last Week: 10. New York Mets

player. 71. Rookie <a href=. 12-8. Last Week: 3. Los Angeles Dodgers . 4

7. The Royals made quick work of the Tigers and followed that with taking 2 out of 3 against the Orioles. <a href=. 12-7. Last Week: 2. Kansas City Royals . 3. player

Washington Nationals . 2. player. 90. Bryce Harper has been a story all his own as he has taken over the reign as the best player in the game. Lost in his success hitting the ball has been the Nationals pitching staff, who currently hold the lowest combined ERA of any team in the league. The Nationals continue to roll through less opponents and have been as impressive as anybody this early season.. 14-4. Last Week: 4

Jake Arietta’s no-hitter against the Reds has been merely a small part of what has made this early season play by the Cubs so good. Their pitching staff has been dominate and that is not just Arietta. <a href=. 14-5. Last Week: 1. Chicago Cubs . 1. player. 9
