The 2025 MLB power rankings are here.  Who’s the best, who’s the worst, and who occupies that big, meaty middle?

The rankings below will be updated throughout the 2025 regular season.  Try not to take these too seriously.  This is just a sports website, okay?

Before We Begin

All 30 teams are ranked below, in three tiers.  The defending champions are the Los Angeles Dodgers.

These power rankings were last updated on August 22, 2025. The changes represented below are from two weeks ago, as the prior release was on August 1.

2025 MLB Power Rankings: Top 10

Milwaukee is at the top of the power rankings for the fourth week in a row, sitting atop the league as the presumptive World Series favorite. I’m sure that’s a sentence you all expected us to utter (if you’re from Wisconsin). With MLB seeming to lack in great teams this season, all it took was one long win streak to separate the Crew from everyone else. The team everyone thought would be the clear favorite, the Dodgers, have improved two spots to sixth.

Meanwhile, the Yankees re-enter the top tier after a good week, but remain behind two teams in their own division.

2025 MLB Power Rankings: Middle 10

Now is the point in the season where teams have to start making their final moves. Kansas City and Cincinnati appear to be putting on their pushes to the postseason. Seattle is waffling. However, the Mets have been largely doing the opposite, on the brink of falling out of what was previously a solid position. They need to start winning some series ASAP or their first season with Juan Soto will end up being a dud.

2025 MLB Power Rankings: Bottom 10

Nobody new entered the lowest circle of Baseball Hell this week, but a lot of Musical Chairs were played. Baltimore has been the best of the bad teams, and are on the verge of moving out of this tier. On the other hand, Minnesota is a team that started slow, got a lot better, and has returned to playing like crap.
