Shea’s MLB Power Rankings (as of 8/11/2011)
We don’t see many massive shifts in the power rankings this week. It’s interesting to notice, though, that virtually every division has become a two-team race.

Our first post-All-Star-break edition of the power rankings shows that some real slugfests are shaping up for the stretch run in every division.
As the All-Star break approaches, a handful of slow-starting teams are returning to prominence in this week’s power rankings.

Baseball is a game of stats and streaks. The Red Sox started this season 2-10 and had all kinds of problems with pitching, injuries and an ice cold offense.
There’s been a huge emphasis on power in baseball over the last decade. Certainly there’s been a lot focus on bulk and home runs, speed as an extremely important, and often overlooked, aspect of winning baseball.
Not many people expected Cleveland to be one of the best teams in baseball. Nor did many think Arizona would be neck and neck with the World Series champs. They didn’t believe Seattle had much of a chance either.
In football it’s interesting and unique to have a left-handed quarterback, like Boomer Esiason or Kenny Stabler. The same thing is true in basketball. It doesn’t make any difference if an ace point guard dribbles the ball primarily with his left hand, or a pivot man shoots left handed.
The Oakland Athletics have struggled this season, but with a good record against the Chicago White Sox, this may all change on Saturday. Two other off-form teams, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Colorado Rockies, move into Game 2 on Friday, while the Florida Marlins host the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.
When analyzing baseball totals, weather can be even more important than stats and starting pitchers. This particular baseball season has seen terrible weather in the northeast, with ten times as many rain outs already as we saw all of last season.
