    Padres Padres ranked #1 in ESPN power rankings

    ESPN - MLB Baseball Power Rankings - Major League Baseball

    1 Padres 36-23 There's no place like home. Chris Young has a 0.52 ERA with a .164 BAA at Petco Park.
    2 Red Sox 38-21 Curt Schilling has allowed a combined 15 runs in three starts against the Yankees, and a combined 19 runs in his other 10 starts
    3 Angels 38-23 Orlando Cabrera deserves to make the All-Star team. He leads all major league shortstops with 78 hits and a .333 BA.
    4 Indians 36-22 C.C. Sabathia (9-1), Paul Byrd (6-2) and Fausto Carmona (7-1) have combined to win 16 of their last 17 starts.
    5 Mets 35-23 John Maine has given up a combined six runs in his last three starts, but has just one win in that span.
    8 Tigers 34-25 Placido Polanco leads all AL No. 2 hitters in batting (.338) and RBIs (31).
    7 Diamondbacks 36-25 The starters are delivering. The D-Backs have posted 37 quality starts, tied for second-best in the majors.
    8 Athletics 31-28 Eric Chavez has opened the month with a bang. He is hitting .320 with three home runs and a 1.099 OPS in June.
    9 Dodgers 34-26 Getting Jason Schmidt back is a boost to the rotation. Now he has to start earning his $15.7 million keep.
    10 Mariners 30-26 Call him a shutdown specialist. Brandon Morrow hasn't allowed a run in his last 15 relief appearances (16.2 IP).
    11 Braves 33-28 Chuck James has a respectable 3.10 ERA in his last five starts, but has only one victory in that time.
    12 Twins 29-29 Torii Hunter, a free agent at season's end, leads all major league center fielders with 44 RBIs.
    13 Brewers 33-27 Ryan Braun is giving the Brewers exactly what they wanted: some offensive production (.313 BA, .563 SLG) and a decent glove at third base.
    14 Phillies 31-29 Antonio Alfonseca has more saves already this season (four) than he had in the past four years combined (none).
    15 Marlins 30-31 The Fish lead the National League in doubles (130) and triples (18) and are third in home runs (67).
    16 Yankees 27-31 Joe Torre is the first to get 2,000 career hits as a player and 2,000 career wins as a manager.
    17 Giants 28-31 The Giants need Barry Bonds in the lineup -- even if he's not hitting home runs -- or it will be a long season.
    18 Orioles 28-32 The O's are coming off a disappointing 2-5 stretch playing at the Angels and Mariners.
    19 Rockies 29-31 Jeff Francis is 4-0 with a 1.46 ERA in his last five starts and hasn't lost a decision since May 2.
    20 Blue Jays 28-31 A.J. Burnett has quickly moved up the charts and now leads the American League with 96 strikeouts.
    21 Cubs 26-32 The real Alfonso Soriano is almost here. He's batting .469 this month with three homers, seven runs and six RBIs.
    22 Cardinals 26-31 The Cardinals' bullpen (3.41 ERA) has been pretty good; it's the starting pitching (5.23 ERA) that stinks.
    23 Devil Rays 26-32 Al Reyes is 15-for-15 in save opportunities, and has allowed a combined six runs in 27 appearances.
    24 Pirates 26-34 It's tough to win when you're giving up hit after hit. Opponents are batting .349 against Zach Duke, who has allowed an NL-high 104 in 72 innings.
    25 White Sox 26-30 When they lose (and it's often), they're losing big. The White Sox have been outscored 74-30 in their last 10 losses.
    26 Reds 23-38 Homer Bailey, the Reds' first-round draft pick in 2004, makes his major league debut Friday against an Indians team that swings a mean bat.
    27 Astros 24-35 Craig Biggio's on-base percentage isn't what it used to be. He's getting on at a .277 clip, his worst rate since his rookie season in 1988.
    28 Nationals 24-36 Dmitri Young has produced far more than the Nationals could have ever expected from him.
    29 Royals 22-39 With his 4-for-4 effort Thursday against the Indians, Alex Gordon now has five multihit games this season. He needs 30 more points to bat his weight (220).
    30 Rangers 21-39 Pitching help is sorely needed. The Rangers have allowed more runs (354) than any team in the majors.
