Most of the teams we expected to succeed are finally starting to do just that.<\/p>\n<p>(Last week\u2019s rankings in brackets)<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. (1) New York Yankees (37-22): <\/strong>They\u2019re reportedly targeting Cliff Lee\u00a0<em>and <\/em>an unnamed Houston hitter \u2013 Lance Berkman or Carlos Lee? Pretty scary to imagine them getting even better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. (3) Tampa Bay Rays (39-20): <\/strong>Picked the right team to beat up on last week and this week; pummelling the Jays boosts their record and buries one of their divisional competitors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. (7) Los Angeles Dodgers (36-24): <\/strong>The hitting will be consistently good enough to support the pitching staff, so their success looks sustainable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. (2) Atlanta Braves (34-25): <\/strong>The winning streak ended but they\u2019re back right where we would\u2019ve predicted them to be at this point of the season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. (5) Boston Red Sox (35-26): <\/strong>He\u2019s not getting much press, but Adrian Beltre has very quietly been a huge addition to the team both offensively and defensively. Sorry, Mike Lowell.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. (8) Minnesota Twins (35-24): <\/strong>Delmon Young is quickly becoming one of the more intriguing redemption stories this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. (16) Los Angeles Angels (33-29): <\/strong>Getting it done without Kendry Morales. Joe Saunders and Ervin Santana have stepped up to support Jered Weaver in the rotation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. (12) Texas Rangers (32-27): <\/strong>Looks like they\u2019re poised to battle the Angels down the stretch again. Kudos to them for recognizing how valuable Vlad Guerrero could be as a DH.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. (6) Cincinnati Reds (34-26): <\/strong>Slipping ever so slightly but the Cards have been worse. Mike Leake continues to impress as a rookie in the rotation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. (4) San Diego Padres (34-24): <\/strong>Reality is creeping up and probably won\u2019t let go until it drags them down into the basement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11. (13) Philadelphia Phillies (31-26): <\/strong>Bizarre season so far for the Phillies. Roy Halladay and Jamie Moyer (seriously) have sparkled but the bats are strangely cold.

(10) Toronto Blue Jays (33-27): <\/strong>See No. 10.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13. (18) New York Mets (31-27): <\/strong>Every time it seems they\u2019re about to fall out of the NL East race, they surge again. Maybe they won\u2019t go away after all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>14. (17) San Francisco Giants (32-26): <\/strong>Juan Uribe is providing the pop they desperately need, but can it last? And Tiny Tim still hasn\u2019t shaken his funk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15. (9) St. Louis Cardinals (33-27): <\/strong>Maybe they can\u2019t win the division with this lineup after all? Naw. Pujols, Holliday, Wainwright and Carpenter alone should be enough&#8230;shouldn\u2019t they?<\/p>\n<p><strong>16. (14) Detroit Tigers (30-28): <\/strong>Armando Galarraga gets the attention but perhaps Miguel Cabrera deserves it more. The guy\u2019s talent is reaching new heights this season \u2013 which is a lot to say for a guy who already has 100 or more RBI in each of his six full major-league seasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>17. (11) Colorado Rockies (30-29): <\/strong>Is it time for them to consider acquiring another bat to support Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez?<\/p>\n<p><strong>18. (15) Oakland Athletics (31-30): <\/strong>Their record through 61 games is admirable considering they have so little to work with. But that\u2019s about all we can say about the A\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>19. (22) Washington Nationals (29-31): <\/strong>It will be fun to see just how far up these rankings Stephen Strasburg can push Washington on his own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>20. (26) Houston Astros (24-36): <\/strong>They\u2019ve quietly won seven of 10. That\u2019s more than the teams below them in the power rankings can say.<\/p>\n<p><strong>21. (24) Chicago Cubs (27-32)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>22. (21) Chicago White Sox (25-33)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>23. (25) Milwaukee Brewers (24-35)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>24. (19) Florida Marlins (28-31)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>25. (28) Cleveland Indians (22-36)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>26. (20) Seattle Mariners (23-36)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>27.
