This week, our MLB.com Power Rankings ended up in a pretty strange place: The top six teams in baseball were all from the National League. In this order: Dodgers, Padres, Phillies, Mets, Cubs and Giants. That’s particularly noteworthy because, as you may remember, there are only six teams that make the playoffs in each league, and thus those six have an immediate leg up on those spots. If those were the six at the end of the season, they’d have these first two weeks as a clear reason why.

The period since the COVID-bubble season has been among the most successful in Knicks history: The five post-COVID years have encompassed 226 regular-season wins, the most over a five-year stretch since 1992 to 1997. It has also been the most joyous period since the '90s: The Knicks have been a feel-good story for nearly the entire Tom Thibodeau coaching era, from " Bing Bong" to the Nova Knicks. They finally won a first-round playoff series this century, then did so again.

Estas clasificaciones, como siempre, son decididas por los colaboradores de MLB.com cuyos nombres pueden encontrarse al final de éste (y cada) artículo, pero las palabras son mías. Si no te gusta el ranking, grita a todos.

A fun fact about baseball as we enter the second half of the season's first month: The juice is all in the National League. Would you believe the top six teams in our Power Rankings are all from the National League? It's true. I would not lie to you in the first paragraph of a story on this website. These rankings, as always, are compiled from MLB.com contributors whose names you can find at the bottom of this (and every) piece, but the words are mine. If you dislike the rankings, yell at all of us.
