We are less than two weeks away from the MLB season-ending, and a whole ton of stuff can still happen. One thing we do know for sure is the Atlanta Braves are back in the postseason.

With that being said, lets get to our weekly MLB power rankings and see where the Atlanta Braves stack up against the rest of the Baseball world.

30. Detroit Tigers

Hey, the Tigers split a 4 game series! Now, to be fair it was Baltimore. The Tigers hold a firm 3.5 game lead in their race for the first overall pick in next June’s draft.

29. Baltimore Orioles

It seems as if Baltimore will get to at least 50 wins, but not much more than that. I’m sure the Orioles fans have moved on to the Ravens by now.

28. Miami Marlins

It will be interesting to see what the Marlins ownership decide to do with the coaching staff and front office this off-season. As for now, I will be rooting for Miami to pull off a couple wins this upcoming weekend against the Nationals.

27. Kansas City Royals

The Royals must go 7-4 over their last 11 games to avoid a 100 game losing streak. They play all playoff teams the rest of the way including the Twins 7 more times.

26. Seattle Mariners

Kyle Lewis debuted last week and broke up no hitters in the middle innings with home runs in back to back games. This game is easy.

25. Toronto Blue Jays

The Blue Jays have seemingly been one of the few teams, maybe the only team, to figure out the Yankees as they are 5-4 against them in the second half.

24. Colorado Rockies

The Rockies had a good week going 5-2 last week. They are closing in on the Padres for 4th in the division. Guess they don’t wanna finish last.

23. Chicago White Sox

Young hurler Lucas Giolito has been shut down for the season due to a nagging injury but the young prized youngster certainly took a step forward this year and looks ready to lead the White Sox rotation for years to come.

22. Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pirates will certainly still play a role in who wins the NL Central or who can win a possible Wild-Card berth still as they still have a series a piece with the Brewers and Cubs left.

21. Los Angeles Angels

Smart move by the Angels to shut down Mike Trout for the year, and go ahead and get him ready for next year. Something tells me the Angels could be a team to watch this off-season.
