Power rankings: One week in, Cubs still on top
After spending 25 of 27 weeks on top of our rankings last season, and opening at No. 1 in our preseason rankings, it's more of the same for the Chicago Cubs. But it wasn't unanimous, with the Cleveland Indians and Baltimore Orioles both getting support for the top spot. The Orioles jumped all the way up to No. 4 from their preseason ranking of No. 13. A little lower in the rankings, the Minnesota Twins (No. 28 No. 14) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (No. 22 to No. 9) made big moves up.
Headed in the opposite directions -- the San Francisco Giants (dropped nine spots to No. 16) and the Texas Rangers (dropped 11 spots to No. 19)
