The Chicago Cubs spent two weeks out of the top spot, but this week they are back at No. 1. After a 4-2 week, the Cubs jumped back up ahead of the struggling San Francisco Giants, who are just 1-7 since the All-Star break. The Cubs were our No. 1 team for 14 straight weeks (including preseason) to open the season. Can they start another long run on top of the rankings?
The scuffling Giants dropped to No. 3, with the Washington Nationals remaining at No. 2 for the third straight week.
