There are two very obvious trends in this week's MLB power rankings.
Trend number one: things are going fairly well in the city of Chicago. Trend number two: the NL East is playing some darn good baseball right now. The Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox are not only sitting at the top of their respective league standings, but are also sitting at the top of our latest round of rankings. And we've got three different NL East teams making an appearance in this week's top 10 as well. We even considered making it four. Consider yourselves honorably mentioned, Philadelphia.
While we're a little focused on the trends this week, we're also looking at a couple of teams making a first-time appearance in the power rankings. It's making things interesting across the league and we're all for that, particularly heading into the second month of the season.
