Here you go… your Week 20 Power Rankings.

1. Yankees: The Yankees are the dominant team in the Major Leagues right now. They stuck it to Boston to prove who is the class of the AL East, and the team is really starting to play up to its talent. Tex and Sabathia are showing why they get paid so much, and the rest of the team is contributing in a way that makes it seem like the Yankees always know how to win. From top to bottom, lineup, rotation, and bullpen, the Yankees have the firepower to go the distance.

2. Angels: Kendry Morales and Bobby Abreu continue to play really, REALLY well for LA's other team. The Angels have started to pick up momentum and it doesn't look like they will slow down any time soon. The management deserves a lot of credit. The Angels are quickly proving themselves as the best team in SoCal. 

3. Phillies: After a disappointing sweep by the Marlins, Philly has won 8 of 10, mostly thanks to the big bats and their best three pitchers. No, that doesn't include Cole Hamels. Joe Blanton, J.A. Happ and Cliff Lee have been outstanding. Of course, a glaring problem continues to be exposed, and that problem is once great closer Brad Lidge. His WHIP (1.85) makes him statistically twice as likely to allow two baserunners per inning than one. That is awful. Unless the rotation can keep its ERA in the mid 1s, there could be trouble brewing. At least for now, though, the Phillies are on a tear.

4. Dodgers: We said last week that they haven't exactly been slumping. Whether that was true or not at the time, right now, they are REALLY slumping. Add that to their not-so-blockbuster acquisition of George Sherrill as the only trade-deadline move, and you get this week's Dodgers, not even a safe lock to win the NL West. 

5. Cardinals: Matt Holliday was hot when he was trading, and leaving Oakland for St. Louis only added fuel to his fire. He has been stellar with the Cardinals, giving the team an added offensive dimension that takes some pressure off of Albert, who has started to get hot again. They are well-built for October. The Cubs had a meltdown against the Phils, allowing the Cards to take the division lead. The only reason the dropped is that their central player, El Hombre Albert Pujols, is in a bit of a "slump". He hasn't hit for average or power too much lately. 

6. Red Sox: The series against New York really hurt Boston. Even with V-Mart, their chances of winning the division have suffered a blow. They have managed to stay barely ahead in the Wild Card race, but people are starting to wonder whether Boston will be able to stand up to the Yankees or Angels come October.

7. Rangers: Between Josh Hamilton, Ian Kinsler, Nelson Cruz, Andruw Jones and Michael Young, there is a pretty good chance that someone is going yard every game. Too bad they play in the same division as the Angels. Well, they won't win the AL East, but like the Red Sox, they have a chance for the Wild Card.

8. Rockies: Colorado battled the Giants and won, making the NL Wild Card theirs to lose. They have a relatively sound team, with a good lineup, ace, and closer, and might be dangerous in October. It will be interesting to see if they can sneak up on LA for the West crown.

9. Tigers: They have cooled a bit, but picking up Washburn makes this one of the best rotations in the game. They haven't put away the division yet, but they rest here on the Power Rankings because they have probably the best chances of doing so. The offense was already good enough for a deep run.

10. Rays: A distant 3rd in the AL East race, the Rays still have a shot at the Wild Card. Not a good one, but a chance. They are still one of baseball's better teams, with help every fifth day from ROY candidate Jeff Niemann, but it may take too much to make the postseason.
