MLB Power Rankings Week 8: New NL team takes No. 1 spot

As the battle in the National League persists between three powerhouse teams, one has emerged as the new No. 1 in our rankings -- the Phillies.

Is Philadelphia the current best team in MLB? And which emerging squad has a chance at knocking one of the elite top-five clubs from its 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.
