Five spots below the Red Sox is a joke IMO. I can understand them rating us higher but 5 spots seems silly to me. The Red Sox have a lot of hole too.

ESPN sure loves those Red Sox...

ESPN sure loves those Red Sox...

Also, run differential and every other solid predictor of future performance.

Sure, but do you think they're going to hit like that all year (isn't their BABIP silly high)? And David Ortiz putting up his best numbers ever at 40, looking like Barry Bonds? I've got my doubts.

Jays are 3 games behind the O's and just dropped 2 of 3 to Baltimore... and they're ahead of Balt in these "Power Rankings." Seems legit.

[Phantom]

How DARE they have an opinion that does not align with mine!!!

[Sanfran327]

Yeah, this is garbage. Pretty sure we just took 4 of 6 from the 2 teams directly ahead of us, and we're on top of the division. Right.

[Machado13]

Hahaha the "power rankings" are always cute, but this one is extra special.

[ArtVanDelay]

ESPN still exists?

[Phantom]

It seems like you guys are less interested in power ranking and more interested in the standings, which are easily found elsewhere.

[DrungoHazewood]

It seems like you guys are less interested in power ranking and more interested in the standings, which are easily found elsewhere.

Have you ever considered that the standings faithfully represent the true talent of each team at each and every moment in time, and therefore are the same as the power rankings?
