The Dodgers, to the surprise of nobody, are once again a top team in the league. Their record isn’t as good as some other top teams, but their talented roster speaks for itself.

Great rotation and getting production from young hitters. They have been, without a doubt, the best team in the American League since the season began.
3. New York Mets

Their starting pitching has been better than expected, and their lineup is great. Soto has come alive after a slow start.
4. Chicago Cubs

The offense is amazing, and they are competing with the best in the league head-to-head. They look to be the real deal.
5. New York Yankees

6. Philadelphia Phillies

The Phillies are going to be great all season long, and should also be a tough out come playoff time.
7. San Francisco Giants

They are playing much better than anyone expected. Their two aces and elite bullpen would make them a tough out in the playoffs.
8. San Diego Padres
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – MARCH 21: Fernando Tatis Jr. #23 of the San Diego Padres hits a grounder resulting in a fielding error of Max Muncy #13 of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 3rd inning during the 2024 Seoul Series game between San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers at Gocheok Sky Dome on March 21, 2024 in Seoul, South Korea.

Have been playing great baseball so far, have 2 very godo SP and an excellent bullpen.
9. Houston Astros

They have been playing great baseball lately, and although it might be suprising to some to see them on this list, they have a solid rotation, solid bullpen, and some star power offensively.
