Season 14 Power Rankings # 1
We're a quarter of the way through Season 14, and thus far it's been a tale of two leagues. The AL has shown tremendous parity this season, with a number of division races within a couple of games from top to bottom, while the NL has had a number of teams with tremendous records, that have broken away from the pack early. In fact, so much so that the top 5 teams in the rankings all come from the NL. At the top, with the world's top pitching staff, and a 7-1 record vs. the #2-4 teams, Memphis becomes just the 4th different team to land on top of the rankings with an amazing 28-12 start, jumping up all the way from #15. Buffalo comes in at #2, and dethroned #1 Oklahoma City comes in at #3, but they are still a major threat, make no mistake. Honolulu and Tucson round out the top 5. And now, here's the complete rankings!
