With the holiday weekend upon us, here’s an abbreviated power rankings this week. No comments, just the new order – with a new top team. The Dodgers dominating week catapults them above Texas in the new standings, while the Cubs take over for the Twins in the basement of the rankings. We’re back next week with a full report on all 30 major league teams, but until then – enjoy the barbeques, pool parties, and America’s pastime as the summer officially begins! Records through Thursday, May 24.
