Welcome to the 15th week of our NL Central Power Rankings! We’ll release these rankings each week to grade all five teams and place them one through five. As everyone knows with power rankings, these should be taken as gospel and they’re obviously 100% accurate. Without further ado, let’s rank some teams!
1. Chicago Cubs (53-35); 5-1 this week; 98.3% chance to make postseason (Baseball Reference)
After dropping two of three to the Astros over the weekend, the Cubs bounced back with a sweep of the Guardians before taking Friday’s series opener with the Cardinals.
Michael Busch had a huge week, capped off with a three-homer game on Friday against the Cards.
