The 2016 MLB season has only a few days left in the regular season before the most fun month of sports action kicks off (this is a fact, by the way, so don't bother arguing). It's also the last installment of the power rankings and as I look back at this season, one thing in particular stands out.

This has been the easiest season since I've been at CBS Sports to rank the number one team. The Cubs were the obvious number one team in baseball until a 5-15 rough stretch from late June to mid-July and then took the "obvious best team" title back shortly thereafter.
