The first month of the 2015 MLB season is nearly over, and already there have been no shortage of surprises around the league.
That includes our new No. 1 team in these rankings the New York Mets, who rattled off an 11-game winning streak to knock the Detroit Tigers out of the top spot.
When putting together these rankings on a weekly basis, the following factors will be considered:
- Last week's record
- Quality of opponent
- Key injuries/trades
- Recent performance beyond the last week
The goal here is to be as objective as possible, but a certain amount of subjectivity will always come into play with something like this.
