We've got win streaks to talk about this week!

The Atlanta Braves have won 11 straight games, and their NL East rivals, the Philadelphia Phillies won 10 straight games before losing on Sunday.

Meanwhile the New York Yankees and New York Mets continue to distance themselves from the rest of MLB.

Every week at BetSided, yours truly shares the latest Power Rankings for MLB in relation to the odds to win the World Series at WynnBET Sportsbook.

How does everyone stack up this week?

1. New York Yankees (+550) LW: No. 1

The Yankees may be special this season. New York now has four more wins than any other team in baseball; passing the Dodgers for the best run differential in the league. With their championship odds moving from +600 to +550, it's World Series or bust for this team.

2. New York Mets (+800) LW: No. 3

Two New York teams in the top two? I shouldn't have... The Mets and Yankees are the only teams with 40-plus wins, and they deserve the top two spots at the moment.

3. Los Angeles Dodgers (+425) Last Week: No. 2

The Dodgers' World Series odds have improved, but they are just 4-6 in their last 10 and have lost three straight. There's no need to panic, but they're falling a spot this week.

4. Houston Astros (+700) LW: No. 4

The Astros have jumped from +800 to +700 to win the World Series now that they've opened up an 8.5-game lead in the AL West.

5. San Diego Padres (+1500) LW: No. 5

The Padres just keep winning (seven of their last 10 to be exact). This team is pushing the Dodgers for the top spot in the NL West even with Fernando Tatis Jr. out.

6. Toronto Blue Jays (+1000) LW: No. 8

The Jays' bats are starting to heat up, and they're now 11 games over .500. There are a few division leaders that they are leaping this week, but I believe in Toronto's potential a lot more than teams like the Minnesota Twins or St. Louis Cardinals.

7. Atlanta Braves (+1500) LW: No. 11

I said the Braves were about to make a charge last week, and now they've won 11 in a row. Now that I'm done patting myself on the back, the Ronald Acuña-led defending champs look like legit contenders again as we enter the summer months.

8. Minnesota Twins (+2500) LW: No. 7

The Twins ran into the Yankees last week, but they still have a three-game lead in the AL Central. They've been a pleasant surprise in 2022.

9. St. Louis Cardinals (+3000) LW: No. 11

The Cardinals have taken the lead in the NL Central with the Milwaukee Brewers losing eight of their last 10 games.

10. Tampa Bay Rays (+2000) LW: No. 10

The Rays stay in the No. 10 spot this week. They need their offense to improve (25th in OPS), but the league's No. 4 pitching staff in terms of ERA is keeping them well over .500.

11. San Francisco Giants (+2500) LW: No. 12

The Giants' plus-35 run differential is really promising, and they've won three straight games to pull within 3.5 of the NL West lead.

12. Milwaukee Brewers (+1300) LW: No. 6

The Brewers are just 2-8 in their last 10 games and have dropped to +1300 to win the World Series. Maybe this drop is an overreaction, but this team is 11th in ERA and 17th in OPS. Average.

13. Boston Red Sox (+4000) LW: No. 13

The Red Sox have won eight of 10, moved from +6000 to +4000 to win the World Series, and yet, they're in fourth place in the extremely tough AL East.

14. Philadelphia Phillies (+4000) LW: No. 18

The Phillies are hot right now, as they had won 10 straight prior to Sunday's loss. The NL East is looking like one of the better divisions in baseball over the last month.

15. Cleveland Guardians (+10000) LW: No. 16

The Guardians are just three games out of the AL Central lead and have won seven of 10. This team is going to be competitive as long as the pitching staff (eighth in ERA) continues to throw this well.

16. Texas Rangers (+30000) LW: No. 18

The Rangers leapt past the Los Angeles Angels in NL West with back-to-back wins this weekend.

17. Chicago White Sox (+2000) LW: No. 17

Tony La Russa is intentionally walking guys in two-strike counts, and the White Sox are seeing their World Series odds drop because of it...

18. Los Angeles Angels (+3500) LW: No. 14

The Angels have gone from +1500 to +3500 to win the World Series on this skid. They're about to waste another year of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani...

19. Miami Marlins (+10000) LW: No. 21

The Marlins have won seven of their last 10 games and have a plus-23 run differential. This team has played better than its record suggests.

20. Seattle Mariners (+7500) LW: No. 20

Seattle will stay put in the No. 20 spot after going 6-4 over its last 10 games. There is still room to move up in the AL West with the Rangers and Angels playing average to below average ball.

21. Arizona Diamondbacks (+50000) LW: No. 19

The Diamondbacks started the season with a poor offense and decent pitching, now they're in the bottom 10 in baseball in both ERA and OPS. Not ideal.

22. Colorado Rockies (+30000) LW: No. 23

The Rockies are just 10.5 games out of the NL West, which is actually impressive in that division, but they're going nowhere with a team ERA of 5.02 this season.

23. Baltimore Orioles (+100000) LW: No. 24

The Orioles aren't going to make the playoffs, but they've been much more competent in 2022. The team only has a minus-38 run differential, which is much better than most last or even second to last place teams in baseball right now.

24. Detroit Tigers (+30000) LW: No. 26

The Tigers are just 8-18 on the road this season, and until they start playing better away

25. Pittsburgh Pirates (+100000) LW: No. 22

I said some nice things about the Pirates last week, and now they've burned me by losing six in a row and falling 10 games below .500.

26. Chicago Cubs (+50000) LW: No. 25

The Cubs were dismantled by the Yankees over the weekend and have no lost six straight. It can't get much worse at Wrigley.

27. Washington Nationals (+50000) LW: No. 28

Will Stephen Strasburg's return be enough to help the league's worst pitching staff (5.32 ERA)? Probably not, but it's nice to see the former World Series MVP back in action.

28. Cincinnati Reds (+100000) LW: No. 29

Back-to-back weeks that the Reds have gone up a spot? I must be getting soft with these rankings...

29. Kansas City Royals (+30000) LW: No. 30

Somehow, the Kansas City Royals aren't tied for the longest odds to win the World Series. Only the Pittsburgh Pirates have a worse run differential, and only this next team has a worse record in 2022...

30. Oakland Athletics (+100000) LW: No. 27

The A's are the MLB version of tanking. After trading away several key players this past offseason, they've now lost nine of 10 and are a league-worst 21-41 on the season.
