MLB: World Series Power Rankings – There’s a New Team at the Top!

8. Detroit Tigers

The Tigers have a great rotation and are getting production from young hitters. They are in complete control in the AL Central and have a very solid pitching staff. If they can maintain one of the two byes in the AL, they have a chance to go deep.

2. Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers don't have to have the best record in baseball or even in the National League to be considered the favorite. They have a loaded roster and until someone beats them, they are the defending champs.

3. Toronto Blue Jays

The Blue Jays have been playing great baseball lately and have taken over the top spot in the AL East. They have a deep rotation and get tons of clutch hitting.

4. Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers are getting amazing starting pitching and production up and down their lineup. They have been the hottest team in baseball, but can they win when it matters most?

5. Chicago Cubs

The Cubs' offense is amazing, the starting pitching has been solid, and the bullpen has settled in nicely thanks to Daniel Palencia locking things down at the end of games.

6. Houston Astros

Despite recent struggles, the Astros should get into the playoffs, and once they are there, they have shown over the past decade that they know how to win.

7. New York Mets

The Mets' starting pitching has been among the best in baseball until recently, and their lineup is great. Edwin Diaz is one of the best closers in baseball as well. They went deep into the playoffs last season, and on paper, they are a better team this season.

8. Detroit Tigers

The Tigers have a great rotation and are getting production from young hitters. They are in complete control in the AL Central and have a very solid pitching staff. If they can maintain one of the two byes in the AL, they have a chance to go deep.
