June 10th MLB Power Rankings: Much of the same for Atlanta Braves and others
By James Kunkle
21. Los Angeles Angels
Until the Angels get any pitching upgrades in the system, they will continue to meager around the .500 mark and waste all of Mike Trout’s good years.
22. Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pirates beat the Braves 2 out of 3, and we obviously start another 4game series with them starting Monday. Hopefully, the Braves can get a little bit of revenge on them as well.
23. Cincinnati Reds
Former Brave Alex Wood is making strides to come back for the Reds. It will be nice to see him throw some innings for the Reds soon.
24. Seattle Mariners
At this point, it’s who’s next to get traded (Or Dipoto’d) and when will they get traded, rather than if they will get traded. Look for Seattle to soon start the barrage of making trades.
25. San Francisco Giants
Whether he was right or wrong about the way he handled the issue Sunday, Madison Bumgarner is a very passionate person. You have to give him that.
26. Detroit Tigers
The Tigers lone good trade chip may be Shane Greene — unless they decide to unload Matthew Boyd. I’m sure many teams will look into both pitchers.

27. Miami Marlins
The Marlins were on a roll and things were looking up, but right now the Atlanta Braves own them. Obviously, we all know that the Atlanta Braves swept them again this past weekend in Miami.
28. Toronto Blue Jays
The real question with Toronto to me is will a team be willing to make a super deal with the Blue Jays by acquiring BOTH Ken Giles and Marcus Stroman? More importantly, could that team be the Atlanta Braves?
29. Baltimore Orioles
Baltimore was the last team to reach the 20 win mark in the majors this season. Let’s see if they will be the last to reach 25?
30. Kansas City Royals
The other team that is currently tied to be the first pick in the 2020 MLB draft. I hate to say it, but could they start the tanking process now?
So that is our MLB Power Rankings this week. Let us know who is too high and who is too low this week in the comments below.
