MLB Power Rankings: Where Do All 30 Teams Stand In Early June? (2026)

June 10, 2026

RotoBaller's MLB power rankings for all 30 teams in early June. Where does each MLB team stand in our latest power rankings for the 2026 season?

With June now in full swing, it's become pretty evident that the differences between the American League and National League couldn't be any more different. The NL is filled with a bunch of competitive teams, yet each division has a very clear favorite with a large lead. The AL, on the flipside, has every division within reach, while seven teams in the Wild Card race are all within three games of each other.

That leads to a lot of potential scenarios in the AL. The NL, on the other hand, at least has quite a bit of intrigue in the Wild Card race. Could some surprise teams sneak up in the standings? And do I think there's a chance one of those teams could be the Mets?

Read on to find out where your favorite team ranks this week.

Note: Stats and rankings reflect games played through Monday, June 8.

No. 30 - Colorado Rockies

The Rockies have been much better in 2026 than they were in 2025. That much has been evident, especially with some fun young talent on the roster like the May NL Rookie of the Month, TJ Rumfield.

But they're still on pace for another 100-loss season. If there's any silver lining to another 100 losses, it's that this year they won't be penalized for it like last year when they weren't eligible for a top-10 pick. With a new front office in place, that would be some solid news for the future.

No. 29 - Los Angeles Angels

The 2026 defensive reel of Jo Adell is going to be absolutely wild for anyone who watches it for the first time without already knowing what happened. Giving up a Jose Conseco-type homer to the Rockies' TJ Rumfield just a month after robbing three homers is something that may only be imaginable for Angels fans who are just embracing the pain.

With them right at the bottom of the league alongside the Rockies, who they lost a series to this week, it feels like a change in direction is more than necessary. They've struggled in past seasons to make changes, but this year feels like a more direct approach is going to be needed to set them up better in the future.

No. 28 - San Francisco Giants

After the way the Giants had started this season, you'd be surprised to know that they're actually one of the league's most effective offenses over the last two weeks, with a 148 wRC+, averaging 6.4 runs per game. Yet, they're just 4-8 over their last 12 games.

A lot of that is because they've scored 49 runs in three of those wins, with the other win ironically being a 1-0 win over the Brewers. The Giants are probably too far out of the Wild Card race to make a realistic run, but their fans may appreciate a little more offensive consistency.

No. 27 - Kansas City Royals

The path to the AL MVP just got a bit easier for Bobby Witt Jr., as Aaron Judge is going to miss significant time with a rib injury. That's great news for Witt, but his case will be held back if the Royals can't turn things around and get themselves back into playoff positioning.

To their credit, they've been much better this week. They're 5-2 over their last seven games, certainly a good start to get back into the swing of things. But there's still a lot of work to be done to overcome everyone else they're chasing in the AL Wild Card race.

No. 26 - Detroit Tigers

Maybe Detroit's demise was a bit overstated. The Tigers certainly felt the pressure on their season and made a statement to open the week by sweeping the Rays. That should help to get them back on the right track, but the fall in the standings is going to be a very tough one to overcome.

On a positive note, Tarik Skubal looked really good in his first minor league rehab start on Sunday. A quick, healthy return to the majors will be very crucial for the Tigers. Whether they decide to keep him or feel the need to trade him, his arm's health is paramount to whatever direction Detroit takes its season.

No. 25 - New York Mets

I teased the Mets in the intro because they are all of a sudden looking like a decent team. Before Sunday's matchup against the Padres, they had won six of their last nine games. More surprisingly, they are creeping ever closer to a positive run differential.

— MLB (@MLB) June 7, 2026

A -9 run differential isn't exactly inspiring, but it's close to the Cardinals' -4 run differential, and St. Louis is looking pretty solid this year. While run differential isn't everything, it's telling us that maybe the Mets have some good luck coming their way. How far of a distance it takes them is a whole different story, though.

No. 24 - Boston Red Sox

The Red Sox find themselves in a very similar spot to the Mets. Their run differential continues to improve as well, though their route to a Wild Card spot may be much easier than New York's. Thank an underwhelming AL for the opportunity there.

Left-handed ace Garrett Crochet is still dealing with a shoulder injury that he hasn't quite progressed well from. His return won't happen any time prior to late June. But with the Red Sox pitching to a solid 3.41 ERA over the last 30 days, they may be able to hold out until then.

No. 23 - Minnesota Twins

So are the Twins going to show they're for real or what? It keeps feeling like they're so close to breaking through, but they never quite get to a spot where we have to take them seriously. They're now 3-9 in their last 12 games but still find the last AL Wild Card spot very much in reach.

June's going to be a very important month for the direction of Minnesota's season. Coming into this year, it wouldn't be surprising if it chose to sell at the deadline, but the competition in the AL likely wasn't projected to be this underwhelming. If the Twins want to make a run for it, the opportunity is there. But they have to be serious about it.

No. 22 - Miami Marlins

Are the Marlins starting to build up a bit of momentum here? It looked a bit rough after getting swept by the Mets last weekend, but they won five of six games this week with a sweep of the Nationals, and then they took two of three from the Rays.

It's an impressive week for sure, especially with how many pitching injuries they've had to deal with in their starting rotation. That depth may be put to the test this week with tough matchups against Arizona and Pittsburgh on deck.

No. 21 - Houston Astros

This Astros season feels like they shouldn't be anywhere close to competing. The offense has been carrying them while the pitching is just barely there, thanks to a plethora of injuries. Somehow, someway, they're just a couple of games out of the AL Wild Card race. Again, the competition in the American League this year is so underwhelming.

But that's fine for Houston as it looks at its future chances. Granted, a lot of that depends on the roster becoming healthy again and performing at the norms once they're all back. If that doesn't happen, then the Astros sink to the bottom. But if it all comes together, then Houston snagging a Wild Card spot could become a reality quicker than most would like.

No. 20 - Athletics

The AL West is very well represented in the AL Wild Card race. Well, except for the Angels. But their counterparts in Sacramento are at least trying to make things interesting. A 5-10 slide since May 22 has really hurt their chances of competing for the AL West, though, and mitigated them solely in the AL Wild Card race.

They're just one game out of a Wild Card spot, though, so there's plenty of opportunity for them to get things turned around. But both the pitching and the hitting need to improve from what they've been doing over the last 30 days. Being subpar at both is going to push the Athletics away from the race quicker than they'd like.

No. 19 - Cincinnati Reds

The wheels are falling off quickly in Cincinnati. After losing Elly De La Cruz to a hamstring strain, they've gone 1-5, including getting swept by the division-rival Cardinals. I'd been predicting negative regression early in the season, which they staved off for a little while, but it's really catching up with them in a big way.

Now, they find themselves 2.5 games back of the NL Wild Card round. Not an unattainable deficit by any means, but the recent streaks don't paint a good picture for the Reds. They need the pitching to drastically improve if they want to turn the ship around.

No. 18 - Texas Rangers

Very quietly, the Rangers are doing their thing, going 7-3 over their last 10 games while holding a Wild Card spot. They're also right in the thick of things in the AL West race and have a real chance of snagging that top spot soon.

— Texas Rangers (@Rangers) June 7, 2026

But the offense needs to be a focus for them to be able to snag that top spot. Over the last 14 days, they've hit for just an 83 wRC+. A nice 10-0 win over Cleveland on Sunday is going to help that, but the bats need to be more consistent to help out their solid pitching staff.

No. 17 - Toronto Blue Jays

At some point, the Blue Jays are going to need to find a little more power so they can pack a punch at the plate. Last year's AL champions just haven't quite gotten there yet, and it's holding them back. Though they took two of three from the Orioles this weekend, they're still just 3-5 in their last eight games.

On the flip side, the pitching hasn't exactly been spectacular. Trey Yesavage has gotten roughed up in two of his last three starts, damaging an otherwise solid season for the 22-year-old. With Dylan Cease on the IL, he needs to step it up so that Toronto can find itself in more games going forward.

No. 16 - Baltimore Orioles

Though they lost their series to the Blue Jays this weekend, the Orioles have otherwise been looking pretty solid. Though just 5-5 in their last 10 games, the wins have been by big margins and losses have been close (besides an 8-1 drubbing at the hands of the Red Sox).

BACK-TO-BACK DAYS WITH A WALK-OFF BLAST FOR Colton Cowser! 🤯 pic.twitter.com/cFq9t0S1CK

— MLB (@MLB) May 25, 2026

Pete Alonso, Colton Cowser, and Adley Rutschman have all been providing a ton of production with their bats. There's certainly a strong feeling here that Baltimore is starting to get on the right track and could be in control of a Wild Card spot shortly. With seven of its next 10 games against the Mariners, it is about to get tested.

No. 15 - Washington Nationals

A weekend series win against Arizona was much needed after getting swept by the division-rival Marlins. They sit at .500 on the season and are very much in the thick of things in the NL Wild Card race.

The biggest question throughout the season has been whether their pitching could turn it around. And over the last 14 days, it'd appear it's gotten a lot better! They've thrown to a 3.36 ERA in that span, but it's also paired with a 4.56 xFIP. That indicates negative regression, but with six of their next nine games against the Giants and Royals, it may be staved off for a little bit longer.

No. 14 - Chicago White Sox

The news of Munetaka Murakami missing the next four to six weeks could have ruined the hopes and dreams of White Sox fans, but Chicago is standing strong without him. The White Sox are 6-4 in their last 10 games and hold a two-game lead in the Wild Card race. Even after a tough week, the White Sox look to be in a great spot.

But that's all about to get tested. Their upcoming schedule gets really rough with a nine-game stretch against the Braves, Dodgers, and Yankees. The White Sox have been a great story this year, but this stretch is going to determine just how real they can be this season.

No. 13 - Arizona Diamondbacks

Arizona's up-and-down season just seems to continue the trend after another series loss this weekend to the Nationals. The D-backs are now 3-7 over their last 10 games but still hold the final Wild Card spot in the National League. With the streakiness, though, there have to be questions about whether or not they'll be able to hold onto it going forward.

At the same time, it seems like rumors of Ketel Marte frustrating people inside the organization with "days off" requests may be popping up again. Questioning his availability may be curious at best, especially since he's played the second-most games on the team (61 vs. 62 from Corbin Carroll and Geraldo Perdomo). But issues get overblown when losing becomes common.

The Diamondbacks need to get back on the winning side of things to help tone down the negative rhetoric happening inside their building.

No. 12 - Pittsburgh Pirates

No team that isn't leading its division in the National League has a better run differential than the Pittsburgh Pirates. They're sitting at +30 while the only other team with a better run differential that's ahead of them in the race is the Cubs with a +4 run differential.

That doesn't erase the pain of a sweep at the hand of the Braves, though. Things don't get easier as they open this week with a three-game set against the Dodgers. The Pirates are in the race, and are clearly a good team, but they've got to string together more wins to make it all pay off.

No. 11 - San Diego Padres

Don't look now, but the Padres are on an absolute free fall. They've now lost 11 of their last 13 games, almost all exclusively to NL East foes, which includes a 0-6 run against the Phillies.

The offense has been horrendous, hitting for a not-so-nice 69 wRC+ over the last 14 days, which is ultimately holding this team back. The pitching has been great, but with that offense that ineffective, you're not going to win many games.

There's enough talent here to compete, but they need the offense to start clicking, or it's going to get very uncomfortable very quickly at Petco Park.

No. 10 - Chicago Cubs

You can't get smacked 18-3 by the Giants and think that things are getting better. Sure, Chicago's looking to turn things around and keep pace in the Wild Card race, but there's still a lot to get figured out here.

The offense is looking better, posting a 108 wRC+ over the last 14 days. But the staff's 5.56 ERA in the same span is incredibly hard for any offense to overcome. The Cubs need to get things locked down on the mound and hope those offensive issues they had just weeks ago don't rear their ugly heads again.

No. 9 - St. Louis Cardinals

Maybe one of the bigger surprises this season, the Cardinals are still looking like a really solid ball club. They've now won six of their last nine games after sweeping the Reds over the weekend. They've got a two-game lead in the Wild Card race, and things are looking good for the Cardinals.

— St. Louis Cardinals (@Cardinals) June 7, 2026

Jordan Walker has been a great surprise for St. Louis as one of the best players in the National League, hitting for a 158 wRC+ with 16 homers. He's a huge reason the Cardinals are winning and why they are one of the best surprise teams in the majors this season.

No. 8 - Seattle Mariners

Are they finally living up to the top-10 stats they've continually been putting up? A 9-3 run says they're certainly well on their way to getting back to the top of things. But with three of those losses happening over their last four games, it has a bit of a sting to it instead of viewing it in a celebratory fashion.

Julio Rodriguez has been the obvious offensive leader for the Mariners, but over the last 14 days, they've also gotten major contributions from J.P. Crawford and Dominic Canzone with four homers each. Seattle's getting things turned around, and that should spell good things for it going forward.

No. 7 - Philadelphia Phillies

Cristopher Sanchez's scoreless streak ended in his last start against the Padres, but one run in six games over 46 IP is still quite the accomplishment. It's gotten the Phillies a one-game lead in the Wild Card race. After such a disastrous start to the season, they've had quite the turnaround.

Mind you, they also recently got Zack Wheeler back. All he's done since his return is pitch to a 2.31 ERA in 50.2 IP. He and Sanchez have the Phillies looking like an incredibly tough matchup, and they're likely going to be headed back to the postseason for the fifth straight season.

No. 6 - Cleveland Guardians

Cleveland's coming in as a real threat in the American League, but it has been a bit too pedestrian recently for my liking. The Guardians pitched to a decent 3.99 ERA over the last 14 days, but it's paired with a below-average 95 wRC+. It's not that these are bad, but paired together, it doesn't scream, "Top-tier team in the AL."

The lineup has some solid contributors, but it's too up and down throughout the lineup to look like a solid contender right now. They should be good going forward, but the White Sox are hot on their heels. Cleveland can't slip up much if it wants to keep its lead in the division.

No. 5 - New York Yankees

The big news here is very clearly Aaron Judge's rib injury. You don't just lose a three-time MVP and think you can easily absorb the blow. The offense has suffered and scored four or fewer runs in four of the five games he's missed.

But thanks to a slumping Rays team, they're tied for the AL East lead. This would normally be a situation where they obviously will take that lead, but without Judge, it makes it that much harder on the offense. They'll likely find their way to the top of the division soon, but it won't come without some hurdles.

No. 4 - Tampa Bay Rays

Speaking of those Rays, the hot streak is more than over. After starting the season with a 34-15 record, they've gone 3-10 since. That's not great for a team that had easily been controlling its division for a while.

While the hitting has been average, the pitching staff has thrown to a 5.70 ERA over the last two weeks, and that's clearly been a detriment to the Rays' success. No team can expect a winning record at that ERA, much less one that's looking to be the best in the majors.

Tampa Bay needs to get things locked down on the mound if it wants to take control of the division again.

No. 3 - Milwaukee Brewers

Pitching very clearly isn't an issue in Milwaukee. The Brewers have pitched to a 3.20 ERA over the last 14 days, adding up to a 10-3 record and a commanding lead in the NL Central.

Jacob Misiorowski continued to dazzle on Saturday night at Coors Field, posting his ninth straight start with eight strikeouts or more, with him giving up no earned runs in six of those. He's very much in the race for the NL Cy Young Award while the Brewers aim to make the World Series for the first time since 1982.

No. 2- Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers just keep looking like the Dodgers, and that's a scary thing for all of baseball. It's been a month since they've lost a series, and they've got a commanding lead in the NL West now thanks to the Padres' downfall and a middling performance from Arizona.

Shohei Ohtani is being Shohei Ohtani, and that's no surprise, but all of L.A.'s starting pitchers are pitching very effectively. They've combined for 12 ER over 80.2 IP over the last 14 days, adding up to a 1.34 ERA. That's an insane number to consider for an entire staff. The Dodgers are rolling, and the rest of the league needs to be on alert.

No. 1 - Atlanta Braves

Staying in our top seed is the Atlanta Braves. They have continually faced injuries, and it just hasn't mattered because they keep winning. Nearly everyone in the Braves lineup is heating up, and that's a great thing for Atlanta.

That's a good thing, too, because the starting pitching hasn't exactly been great over the last two weeks. For most teams, that wouldn't be the best news, but the Braves have just been that good. They need improvement in the staff going forward, but for now, they're sitting pretty.

The Braves are our top seed yet again as we steamroll through June.
