DROPPED OUT
Cleveland Indians
As the postseason is well-underway, the race to October didn't end without a last minute change in the power rankings.
The unexpected surge from the Yelich-less Milwaukee Brewers, coupled with the slide of the Cleveland Indians, sent the Crew to a showing in our final regular season ranking at #10. They had a chance to force a winner-take-all, divisional title showdown with the St. Louis Cardinals; instead they let away the opportunity, They settled for the second wild-card.
This will not be our last power rankings of the season as we take account of the postseason finish. Therefore, our final power rankings will be released right after the World Series.
