There’s nothing quite like September baseball, when it involves teams contending for a spot to play in the MLB postseason.
Some teams are slowly separating themselves from the pack, while others look to find themselves in a dogfight from here on out.
When taking a look at how your favorite team stacks up in this particular power ranking, there are a few things to keep in mind. Rankings will be based on the overall records of each team and how well or poorly they’ve been playing as of late, starting with the worst and moving to the best.
Some subjectivity will come into play as far as the order is concerned, but the main focus of decision-making is heavily weighted on a team’s overall record because of where we currently stand in the regular season. For example, though the St. Louis Cardinals have lost their last three games, they still have the best record in baseball.
As far as records are concerned, the rankings are updated as of late Saturday night. The descriptions for each team won’t be too long, but will include overall records, how many games back each teams is in the division and/or wild card and a brief blurb on how they’re doing. Though the list is slated to fluctuate slightly in the upcoming weeks, let’s take a look at where things currently stand.
