MLB Power Rankings, Week 10: Brady Farkas Edition /

Hard to believe that we are already closing in on mid-June. It seems like just yesterday that Opening Day was upon us, and now some teams are closing in on 70 games played.

As we near that 70 game mark, some teams are really establishing themselves, and we're starting to see some clear definition with teams.

Our Fastball on FanNation publisher Tom Brew admirably took his shot at his Week 10 power rankings, HERE, and I have some thoughts of my own as well...

Without further adieu....

1) Tampa Bay Rays - I really wanted to pick something different than Tom here, but I couldn't. They just find a way to develop talent and employ a "next man-up" mentality. Injuries might make this team vulnerable in the playoffs, but for now, they're still No. 1.

2) Atlanta Braves - There are injury concerns here as well, as Max Fried and Kyle Wright are out for lengthy periods of time. But that offense will keep the team afloat until they come back. They've won eight of 10 entering Monday.

3) Texas Rangers - Sure, they lost two of three to the Rays, but when the whole team is hitting near .300, and they are getting pitching like this from Jon Gray, they are for real.

4) Arizona Diamondbacks - Who had this one coming? They've won eight of 10 and five straight and now have a 3.5 game lead on the Dodgers. Corbin Carroll might be an MVP candidate.

5) Baltimore Orioles - They are young and they are relentless offensively, but will that starting rotation be the downfall that we've all feared?

6) Los Angeles Dodgers - Yes, they've fallen but the rookie Bobby Miller is a stud on the mound and Clayton Kershaw is still historically good. They have experience on this roster, and they have Mookie Betts.

7) Toronto Blue Jays - I don't care that they are in fourth place in their own division. That offense is still the scariest in the AL outside of Texas, and Kevin Gausman has been great in nearly each start this year. Can they get Alek Manoah right?

8) Houston Astros - The Yordan Alvarez injury is crushing and the Lance McCullers injury updates haven't been good. Is this year they don't stay healthy enough to win the division?

9) New York Yankees - The team is good. The bullpen is elite. But the lineup without Aaron Judge is.... ehhh....

10) Miami Marlins - Luis Arraez might hit .400 and they have a 20-year-old ace in Eury Perez. They are must-watch right now.

11) Los Angeles Angels

12) Milwaukee Brewers

13) Pittsburgh Pirates

14) Boston Red Sox

15) Minnesota Twins

16) San Francisco Giants

17) Cleveland Guardians

18) Philadelphia Phillies

19) San Diego Padres

20) Seattle Mariners

21) New York Mets

22) Cincinnati Reds

23) Chicago White Sox

24) Chicago Cubs

25) St. Louis Cardinals

26) Detroit Tigers

27) Washington Nationals

28) Colorado Rockies

29) Oakland Athletics

30) Kansas City Royals
