MLB Power Rankings Week 5

1. Chicago Cubs


Record: 24-6, Last Week: No. 1, The Breakdown: It is time to be impressed by the Cubs. From May 2 to May 7, Chicago did not lose one game. Not a single one. The Cubs swept Pittsburgh, giving up a total of five runs in three games, and then opened up the series against Washington with three straight victories. And can we talk about Ben Zobrist for a quick second? When your wife tweets out "OK now you're just showing off" after his fourth home run in a week, you know you're doing something right. The second baseman is currently hitting .278 with 25 RBI and an on base percentage of .402. That's not too shabby and, right now, neither are the Cubs. (Getty)
