MLB Power Rankings Week 4

Four weeks into the MLB season, we’ve seen coast-to-coast domination — as New York and the Los Angeles area are each home to a pair of division leaders.

Have the New York Yankees, New York Mets or Los Angeles Angels beaten out the Los Angeles Dodgers — who have sat at the top of our rankings for the first three weeks of the season — for the No. 1 spot?

Our expert panel has combined to rank every team in baseball based on a combination of what we’ve seen so far and what we already knew going into the 162-game marathon that is a full baseball season. We also asked ESPN MLB experts David Schoenfield, Bradford Doolittle, Joon Lee, Jesse Rogers and Alden Gonzalez to weigh in with an early observation for all 30 teams.

Week 3 | Preseason rankings

1. New York Yankees

Record: 18-7

Previous ranking: 5

Since invoking panic among the fan base with a 5-5 start to the season, the Yankees are now flourishing.

2. Los Angeles Dodgers

Record: 16-7

Previous ranking: 1

The Dodgers have been right up there with the Mets as the best team in the National League through the first four weeks, and it seems as if they haven’t hit their stride yet. Mookie Betts, Trea Turner, Justin Turner and Max Muncy — who usually make up the top six spots in the lineup — have all struggled at a time when offense is remarkably down throughout the sport. And yet the Dodgers possess the highest run-differential in the majors. Pitching has mostly carried them, but the Dodgers boast a lineup that can rival the greatest throughout history. At some point, that will show up. — Gonzalez

3. New York Mets

Record: 18-9

Previous ranking: 4
