3. Washington Nationals

Record: 19-12, Last Week: No. 3, The Breakdown: Alright, so it has not been a good series for the Nationals when it came to taking on the Cubs. Washington opened up the road tilt by dropping the first three games. Why haven't the Nationals dropped down in the power rankings then? Washington is still hitting - and scoring - against a Cubs team that has some seriously strong pitching. And that's enough to keep 'em at No. 3. Oh, and despite the three-game skid, Washington's pitching rotation isn't all too shabby either. Coming into the weekend, Gio Gonzalez (1.15), Joe Ross (1.23) and Tanner Roark (2.35) were all sitting in the top 10 in National League ERA. (Getty)
