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?

2025 MLB Power Rankings: Top 10
Milwaukee remains the best team in baseball, and they have been uncontested as such for weeks. Philly is closing in on them, but will they catch them for the National League’s top seed? It’s not impossible.
Most of the top ten was unchanged from last week. The sole new entrant was Seattle, who have been hot and caught Houston for the AL West lead.
2025 MLB Power Rankings: Middle 10
Houston, meanwhile, drops into the middle tier. Their story in this tier is not the saddest, as that dishonor belongs to the Mets. New York’s NL team has lost six games in a row, and turned a once-assured playoff spot into a struggle for survival. San Francisco is not that good, but they and Cincinnati, another not-great team, have a legitimate chance of making the postseason.
2025 MLB Power Rankings: Bottom 10
Baltimore wins the “ruling in Hell” award this week, jumping up to 21st place on the back of a good week. Their season is long-since over, but they will at least attempt to finish strong.
As for the bottom, Colorado will avoid the ignominy of setting an all-time record for losses. The bad news for them is that they could very easily lose 115 games by the time this is over, which is by all accounts a horrible season.
