In ESPN's latest power rankings as of today, the Red Sox remain as the best team in baseball.  After a solid week, the Mets jumped to #5.  The Yankees, by the way, have fallen all the way to 18th.  They are behind teams that include the Cubs and the Marlins.  Ouch! 

COMPLETE POWER RANKINGS: JUNE 29


The Sox are plain and simple the BEST team in baseball as acknowledged here.  The Mets are probably sufficiently placed @ #5.  Their still one of the best teams in baseball and they're starting to come around.  I still, however, am fairly confident that the Mets are better than the Padres.  As far as the Yankees are concerned, enjoy it.  They're awful on the road but pretty good at home.  I'm fairly confident the Sox have locked up the AL East, but the Wild Card is still up for grabs.  Lets go Indians!
