Final Power Rankings: September 28 – October 4
1. Yankees (103-59) – With 103 wins, a dominating offense and home-field advantage, this team may sweep their way to the World Series.
2. Phillies (93-69) - The Phillies have home-field advantage vs. the Rockies and Cardinals (if it comes to that), where they actually have LESS wins than on the road.
3. Angels (97-65) – The Baseball Gods are going to be kind to the Angels this postseason, I feel it.
4. Red Sox (95-67) – Sox have a losing record vs. their first round opponent this year at 4-5.
5. Dodgers (95-67) – Big momentum swing by taking the last two vs. the Rockies heading into the playoffs, despite Manny and Either batting under .220 in September.
6. Rockies (92-70) – Jason Marquis is 1-4 in September/October starts, not something you want to see from your #2.
7. Cardinals (91-71) - The Cardinals have no momentum going into the playoffs, Chris’ words, not mine.
8. Twins (86-76) – One heck of a roller coaster ride this season, and I was on it the whole time. I am so excited for Tuesday it’s ridiculous.
9. Tigers (86-76) – Other than Verlander, their pitching is in shambles and I hope that this continues into Tuesday.
10. Marlins (87-75) – The Marlins finished the season 12 games above .500 vs. division opponents, just two less wins than the Phils.
11. Braves (86-76) - With the easiest schedule down the stretch, it’s pretty easy to say the Braves blew it this season.
12. Rangers (87-75) – Chris Davis struck out 150 times this year… in under 400 at bats!
13. Mariners (85-77) – At 19-5 with a 2.49 ERA King Felix can’t be overlooked as the AL Cy Young winner this year.
14. Giants (88-74) – Their lack of offense caught up to them quickly, and teams realize if they can score 3 runs, put it in the books as a win.
15. Cubs (83-78) – I just hope Carlos Zambrano has a better year next year so he doesn’t retire.
16. Rays (84-78) – Locked up their second straight winning season this year after 10 straight losing seasons.
17. White Sox (79-83) – Sox played the role of spoiler this year, BOOYAH!.
18. Brewers (80-82) – Braun and Fielder need guys like Weeks to stay healthy and about four new starters and they should be back in the playoffs in no time.
19. A’s (75-87) – The A’s tried so hard to reach that .500 mark and ran into the Angels. They lost seven in a row to end the season, ouch.
20. Reds (78-84) – It’s been nine years since the Reds have broken that 80 win plateau.
21. Astros (74-88) – I want Craig Biggio to manage this team next year, that would be so sick.
22. Blue Jays (75-87) – With a new GM in town, I sense Halladay is on his way out BEFORE next season starts.
23. Padres (75-87) – Despite a 40-home run season from Adrian Gonzalez, this is a top 5 worst offensive team in baseball.
24. Royals (65-97) – A breakout year by Billy Butler prevented the Royals from being the sole team in last place in the Central.
25. Mets (70-92) - I don’t think it’s fair to judge Jerry Manuel with such a banged up team but I’m going to anyway, he sucks.
26. Diamondbacks (70-92) – I wonder if the D-backs are looking for anyone else to strikeout 200+ times next year, I’m available!
27. Cleveland (65-97) – Even a new manager won’t help this team out of the AL Central basement next year.
28. Orioles (64-98) - Joke of the AL.
29. Pirates (62-99) – The Pirates haven’t made the post season in 16 years and to top that off they have finished in last place the last three seasons, IN A SIX TEAM DIVISION!
30. Nationals (59-103) – JOKE of the MLB.
