MLB Power Rankings: 21-25

24-29. Last Week: 24. Oakland Athletics . 25. player. 96. After getting swept by the Yankees at home, the A’s then traveled to face Seattle and were swept again. They did battle back and take two out of three against the struggling Tigers, but still sit 6 games under .500 with no real identity at this point in the season. <a href=

22-28. Last Week: 22. Tampa Bay Rays . 24. player. 21. After showing a little strength early in the month, the Rays have looked nothing short of a disaster over the past two weeks dropping series to the Tigers, Marlins, and Yankees. They also will face a Royals team that finally seems pointed in the right direction. Their pitching was their strength early in the year, but <a href=

24-28. Last Week: 23. Los Angeles Angels . 23. player. 102. The big concern coming into the season was if there would be any offense around the amazing <a href=

Houston Astros . 22. player. 135. The Astros showed us this past week that they still can be a playoff team if they would ever get hot. They swept a very good Orioles team and continued that success into a matchup with the Angels. They still are 6 games below .500, but seemed to finally be showing what many expected to see from them this year. Second-year man <a href=. 24-29. Last Week: 25

Arizona Diamondbacks . 21. player. 8. The D-Backs had a bit of a tough run in Pittsburgh but returned home to take 2 out of 3 from the Padres at home. They will get to face an Astros team that might finally be snaping out of their funk this week. They still greatly miss OF AJ Pollock and his return will strengthen this lineup considerably.. 23-31. Last Week: 20
