10) MLB Power Rankings: Boston Red Sox, .500, 19-19

Nice and even. The only team in baseball with as many wins and losses against .500 or better ball clubs are the Boston Red Sox. This puts them tenth on this list. We know they’ll have plenty more games against teams in this category. Until then, they get to beat up on the Cincinnati Reds starting on Tuesday as they look to improve upon their 28-25 record.

9) MLB Power Rankings: San Francisco Giants, .515, 17-16

The San Francisco Giants are suddenly good. They’re a game over .500 overall at 27-26 and versus teams with a .500 record or better. This does mean their record against teams below .500 is 10-10. Currently occupying the third wild card spot, the Giants have played up to their competition at times and down to it at others.

8) MLB Power Rankings: Milwaukee Brewers, .516, 16-15

A little ahead of the San Francisco Giants by one percentage point, the Milwaukee Brewer would also break any tie-breaker anyway. They’re 28-25 with a top spot in the NL Central. They’ve done well against teams with an even or positive record. Although they’ve failed to fully pull away from the Pittsburgh Pirates who are clinging to dear life, the Brewers have proven they’re made of some tough stuff.

7) MLB Power Rankings: New York Mets, .521, 12-11

The New York Mets are an even 27-27 this season yet hold a 12-11 record against teams with a .500 record or better. The big concern here is they’ve only logged 23 games against teams who fall into this category. Can they keep up this impressive .521 winning percentage as the season goes along or will they falter?

6) MLB Power Rankings: Houston Astros, .533, 16-14

The mighty Houston Astros have handled themselves well after a somewhat surprisingly weak start. First place continues to elude them. So does having the best winning percentage in the AL West versus teams with a .500 record or better. Yep. They’re second there, too. More on that team the Astros continue to chase shortly.
