MLB Power Rankings: 6-10

Los Angeles Dodgers . 10. player. 71. The Dodgers sit only 2 games over .500 and continue to mostly cruise through most series and haven’t truly gotten hot yet. <a href=. 20-19. Last Week: 10

95. The big story from the past week will be Rougned Odor’s right hook to Jose Bautista and rightly so. However, lost in the scuffle over the weekend was back to back series wins against a really good White Sox team and the Jays. Their pitching has been better than expected with 4 of their 5 starters holding an ERA of under 3.5. <a href=. 22-17. Last Week: 11. Texas Rangers . 9. player

San Francisco Giants . 8. player. 31. The Diamondbacks may have woken up a sleeping Giant this weekend as these Giants swept them in four games finally give them some much needed momentum. The formula really hasn’t changed a whole lot as the Giants still are sitting in the top 5 in OBP and won all 4 games this weekend by 2 runs or less.. 22-18. Last Week: 12

Pittsburgh Pirates . 7. player. 4. The Pirates record now stands only 2 games over .500 as 6 of their last 12 games have been against the Cubs, a team that has them figured out. Fortunately they see the Braves on the schedule 4 times in the coming week and should be able to get back on track. Pitching has been a strong point for this franchise for some time, but its holding them back right now.. 20-17. Last Week: 5
