MLB Power Rankings: Where All 30 Teams Stand After One Month
by 
The city of Chicago dominated the month of April in Major League Baseball, as both the White Sox and the Cubs have distinguished themselves from the rest of the pack in the first month of the new season.
MLB Power Rankings: Where All 30 Teams Stand After One Month
The Washington Nationals and the New York Mets seem poised for a tight battle in the NL East, while the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners have proven themselves to be two of the biggest teams as they vie for AL West domination.
Give the small number of games played so far this season, one strong week of play can often result in a giant rise in the rankings with so many teams clustered together with similar records.
These rankings are a fluid process, with teams rising and falling based on where they were ranked the previous week.
