We are in the final month of the season and its time to separate the big boys from the rest in our MLB Power Rankings. Luckily, the Atlanta Braves may be playing the teams best ball of the season.

Let’s rank the Atlanta Braves and the rest of MLB right now.

30. Detroit Tigers

Another week closer to the end of the season is good news for the Tigers. They look likely to have the #1 pick in next June’s amateur draft, but for now they remain at the bottom of these rankings.

29. Baltimore Orioles

As an Atlanta Braves fan, I’m just glad Baltimore was able to nab one game from the red hot Nationals this week as they had a quick two game series.

28. Miami Marlins

Unlike the Orioles, the Marlins could help the Atlanta Braves out at all as they were swept by the Nationals over the weekend.

27. Kansas City Royals

If you ever wanted proof that owning a MLB team was a good thing for your bank account at the end, look no further than the Royals who just sold for $1 Billion! David Glass made a ton of money and won a World Series title.

26. Toronto Blue Jays

The Blue Jays have a ton of young talent, but its to the point now where they all just want the 2019 season to end. Facing Justin Verlander will slow down anyone, but as you know they were no hit Sunday by the future Hall-Of-Famer

25. Colorado Rockies

Things just weren’t mean to be for the Rockies this season. They have battled injuries and bad play. The sad part is the only win they have in their last 10 games was against the Braves.

24. Seattle Mariners

I said it a few weeks ago, but since returning from his latest injury stint, Kyle Seager has been one of the best productive hitters throughout the game. Will be interesting to see what the Mariners do with him this off-season.

23. Chicago White Sox

The White Sox are loaded with young talent much like the Blue Jays, but the Braves were able to do what they should do this weekend and that was to sweep them right out of Atlanta.

22. Cincinnati Reds

Eugenio Suarez is having another great year, but the Reds have all the reason to end his season early now as he exited the nightcap of the double-header Sunday against the Cardinals.

21. Los Angeles Angels

Do we take Mike Trout for granted? Sometimes I don’t think we really discuss the greatness he is giving us as Baseball fans. Saturday, he became the youngest player ever in the 200/200 club.
