MLB Power Rankings: 21-25

32-45. Last Week: 24. Los Angeles Angels . 25. player. 102. Mike Trout seems to be starting one of his typical hot streaks right now. The Angels as a team, well they are not in the middle of a hot streak and haven’t been all season. Losing 7 of their past 8 and headed in the wrong direction is again such a shame for a player of the caliber of Trout. Their pitching staff was so bad that they went out and got <a href=

Tampa Bay Rays . 24. player. 21. The Rays ended their losing streak last night, a streak that had reached 11 games. Of course the teams that they were played were the Orioles, Indians, Mariners, and Giants. Either way, the Rays are struggling top to bottom and also have been hit pretty hard with injuries this season. Outside of <a href=. 32-43. Last Week: 23

6. Looking back to the first month of the season, the Phillies looked like a sneaky young squad hungry for success. Fast forward to now and they have certainly fallen on tough times as they continue to lose game after game. They are hitting .237 as a team in the month of June while their pitching staff has a 5.39 ERA. You can see why they are now 12 games under .500.. 32-45. Last Week: 20. Philadelphia Phillies . 23. player

player. 76. The Brewers just won a big series with the Nationals at home that might get them pointed in the right direction. Zack Davies has been the biggest surprise compiling a 1.64 ERA over his past 5 starts while striking out 36 batters in 33 innings. If they can continue to get solid pitching from their young staff, they can be a dangerous team.. 34-41. Last Week: 22. Milwaukee Brewers . 22

8. The month of June has the D-Backs sitting at 13-12, but their play as a whole has been much stronger of late. Since sweeping the Phillies, they are now in the midst of a streak where they have won 7 of their last 11. What stands out though has been their record playing at home, which is only 13-26. If they can translate whatever they do on the road to their home field, this could be a playoff team.. 36-43. Last Week: 25. Arizona Diamondbacks . 21. player
