Roughly one-third of the 2016 MLB season has been played, and at this point everyone is still chasing the Chicago Cubs.
The No. 1 team in our weekly power rankings for 10 straight weeks dating back to Opening Day, the Cubs have been nothing short of dominant aside from a brief hiccup in the middle of May where they went 4-8 over a 12-game stretch.
Meanwhile, teams continue to jostle for position in the rankings behind them, and for the fourth straight week we have a new No. 2 team.
There are 16 teams in all with a winning record, but the hottest team in baseball might be the Houston Astros, who are still two games under .500 but have gone 11-2 over the past two weeks to climb from the depths back to relevance.
One thing remains true: These rankings are a fluid process, with teams moving up or down based on where they ranked the previous week. If a club keeps winning, it will keep climbing—it's as simple as that.
Here's a look at where all 30 MLB teams stand.
