This week's Power Rankings feature some big shifts with clubs in the American League East, with the team making the largest gain on the list and the team seeing the biggest drop both emerging from that division. As the calendar flips to September and postseason races heat up, it'll be very interesting to see how the Power Rankings change from here on out. The Rays made the biggest gain this week, jumping four spots from our last poll to land at No. 8. Tampa Bay, decimated by injuries for much of the season, won five of seven games on the week, and in a stretch of 17 games in 17 days, the Rays won 12. With the Rays surging, the Jays are falling, dropping four spots over last week's survey, to No. 11. Toronto opened the week with a three-game sweep of the Red Sox, but ended it with a sweep at the hands of the Angels. |
