15) MLB Power Rankings: Colorado Rockies, .433, 13-17

It looks like some compliments have to be thrown the way of the Colorado Rockies are, by the way, only a half-game behind the San Diego Padres in the standings. They have a slightly better winning percentage than their NL West rivals against the .500 or better teams. This is definitely worth a victory lap. Keep it slow. The thin Denver air can be tough to breathe in sometimes.

14) MLB Power Rankings: Miami Marlins, .468, 15-17

Here come the Miami Marlins?! Maybe not. It’s early. Their 28-26 record is surprisingly impressive for a club no one expected to compete. They are second in the National League East after all. A .468 winning percentage against .500 or better ball clubs is worth tipping our caps in their direction. Maybe this is a team of destiny after all. Or maybe those sleeping giants called the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets are going to ruin the Marlins’ summer.

13) MLB Power Rankings: Los Angeles Dodgers, .482, 14-15

If we’re going to praise the Miami Marlins for playing so well against .500 or better ball clubs, the Los Angeles Dodgers might need to get roasted. A game below even in 29 chances, this isn’t necessarily a good or bad thing. You’d expect to finish around .500 against the better ball clubs. All this means is the Dodgers aren’t elite just yet. Wait for it.

12) MLB Power Rankings: New York Yankees, .486, 18-19

The New York Yankees are third in the AL East yet last in winning percentage against teams with a .500 or better record. As you’ll see soon after in the MLB Power Rankings, it’s more of a math thing than an indication of them being any better or worse than the Boston Red Sox or Toronto Blue Jays. A quick spoiler, those two clubs are next on our list.

11) MLB Power Rankings: Toronto Blue Jays, .487, 19-20

Simply because they have one more win yet an extra loss, the Toronto Blue Jays are ahead of the New York Yankees. It’s kind of a “so what?” for the Blue Jays who are 3-7 in their last 10 games and fighting to stay above .500. They play the Milwaukee Brewers next. If you lost track, the Brewers have yet to make an appearance in the MLB Power Rankings.
