MLB Power Rankings: Perhaps we should believe in Rangers after sweep of Tigers - New York Daily News
The Texas Rangers hold the second wildcard spot in the American League, which, we must confess, is somewhat of a surprise to us here in the Daily News MLB Power Rankings home office. The Rangers have home series with the Blue Jays and the Orioles, so this is a big week for them. Can the No. 11 Rangers squeeze in this week. Louis Cardinals (78-45, last week No. 1): Unless you work at the Elias Sports Bureau, you’re not getting this trivia question: Stephen Piscotty is the first Cards rookie with two homers and a triple in the same game since who. Only Don Gutteridge in 1936. You owe us. 2. Kansas City Royals (75-48, last week No. 2): They have 33 comeback wins this season, which should come as a surprise to exactly nobody. Pittsburgh Pirates (74-48, last week No. 3): Another ace. Chicago Cubs (71-51, last week No. 4): Fours are wild: The Cubs have four four-game sweeps this season. 1945, the last time they were in the World Series. Toronto Blue Jays (69-55, last week No. 7): The Jays are 12-24 in one-run games. New York Yankees (68-55, last week No. 6): Thank goodness the Indians aren’t in the AL East, eh,.
