The Dodgers Hold, the East Wobbles

JUNE 28, 2026

A quick lap of the standings, offenses and pitching staffs.

Los Angeles still sits atop the power ranking with a plus-150 run differential and no challengers in sight. Behind them, the surprise is movement in the other direction: the Braves and Yankees both went 3-7 over their last ten and slid down the board.

Power Rankings

Power ranking — record, run differential and last-10 form, blended into one order.

The Dodgers stay at number one, but the Marlins are the story underneath, 8-2 over their last ten and up to fourth despite a run differential of just plus-11. The Braves dropped three spots and the Yankees five, both undone by a rough week.

Best offenses

Team OPS — on-base plus slugging. Higher is better.

The Dodgers lead the team-OPS board too, at .788, the only club clear of the pack. Pittsburgh sneaking in at third, ahead of Colorado and Washington, is the kind of name you don't expect this high.
