• Week 4 LVP: Brayan Bello (-25)
• Season MVP: Yordan Alvarez (150)

Palm Beach doesn’t want to be here in the rankings, and I don’t want to put them here, but the reality of the situation is Palm Beach is 0-6 in the last 3 weeks and struggling so far. After a Week 4 loss to now 2-4 Metro Brozak, the Diamond Ducks lineup isn’t enough to fix the glaring issue of the injuries currently in the rotation. In the last 3 Weeks, more injuries have happened, this time losing two RPs in Duran & Palencia, and two hitters in Langford & Donovan.

On a bright side, Yordan Alvarez is the current MVP, having a 150 Points as the best hitter in baseball. Noah Schultz has been great in his 3 Major League starts since being called up, and Nolan McLean has surpassed 100 Points on the season with no start generating less then 10 Points.

The injury bug took Palm Beach out of playoff contention in 2025, and it looks like it’s hanging around in 2026.

Week 5 Matchup: Away Vs. Cole Blooded (5-3)

7. Metro Brozak (2-6)

• Move: ⬆️1
• Week 2 MVP: Taj Bradley (39)
• Week 3 MVP: Ben Rice (32)
• Week 4 MVP: Tyler Glasnow (37)
• Week 4 LVP: Willy Adames (-8)
• Season MVP: Jose Soriano (149)

In 2025, Metro Brozak only won 1 game Head-to-Head, and in the big 2026, the team has already doubled that, winning against Cole Blooded & Palm Beach in the last 3 weeks. After having Zero Median Wins last year, the trend has continued as the team is currently 0-4 in category this year. The team is still last in total points, hence a ranking at 7.

Metro Brozak looks like the early favorite for Waiver Wire Pickup of the Year, as I can’t stress enough of how good Jose Soriano has been for the team. The leading Cy Young candidate, Soriano has 149 Points and a 0.24 ERA so far. SP Tyler Glasnow secured them the victory over Palm Beach in Week 4, having 37 Points in 1 Start, going 8 innings with only 1 hit.

The team is still shaky with starts, and for some reason still has 6 bench spots open, but there are playing that are really producing on this team. Not to mention 2025 #1 Overall Pick Kade Anderson has been dominate in the minor with a 0.48 ERA. Metro Brozak can go back-to-back in Week 5 against Thunder Bay to climb up the rankings once again.

Week 5 Matchup: Away Vs. Thunder Bay (2-4)

6. Thunder Bay Titz (2-6)

• Move:⬆️1
• Week 2 MVP: Kris Bubic (35)
• Week 3 MVP: Paul Skenes (39)
• Week 4 MVP: Chase Dollander (44)
• Week 4 LVP: Reynaldo Lopez (-15)
• Season MVP: Mason Miller (115)

When I first started these rankings, I had Thunder Bay last until a last-minute switch up after doing some more research. Their performance in Week 4, despite a loss to Nip City, showed what the team is capable of when the stars of the team play well. Skenes has been back to the Cy Young caliber we know and love the last 3 Weeks, and Nick Kurtz had himself a week with 30 Points.

It’s actually insane that through 4 Weeks of play a Relief Pitcher is a leading scorer, but that shows how dominate Mason Miller has actually been. In 13 Games, he’s only 3 hits and 0 runs so far. For some reason Colorado is scared to pitch Chase Dollander in the 1st Inning, but when he’s in relief he’s been lights out.

The struggles are still there for Thunder Bay however, as the team has only 1 H2H win, and got their first Median in Week 4. No hitter or starting pitcher has over 100 Points, and guys like Pete-Crow Armstrong and Marcelo Mayer have really struggled. Might be time to buy if Thunder Bay believes the core is strong enough for a run. It’s a must win week versus Metro Brozak

Week 5 Matchup: Home Vs. Metro Brozak (2-6)

5. Bryce Krispy Treats (4-4)

• Move:⬇️1
• Week 2 MVP: Jacob DeGrom (49)
• Week 3 MVP: Mike Trout (49)
• Week 4 MVP: Sal Stewart (35)
• Week 4 LVP: Paul Sewald (-8)/Steven Matz (-8)
• Season MVP: Sal Stewart (122)

It defintely hasn’t been bad for the Byrce Krispy Treats, but it hasn’t been too great for the team either so far in 2026. Every week they put up good total numbers, but they just haven’t had that dominant week this quality of a team can produce. Their 2-2 in H2H, and 2-2 in the median, so it’s been a very balanced team so far.

The two clear topics and headlines of this team so far; Sal Stewart has been very good, and Garrett Crochet has been very bad. Stewart is on pace to win BKT a comp pick for Rookie of the Year and has been a top 5 hitter with 122 Points so far. Crochet on the other hand, a top 3 pitcher in 2025, has literally himself cost this team a win with two horrific performances. I don’t doubt Crochet will return to prime form, but it’s worth keeping an eye on.

I’d be a fool to not talk about how good Mike Trout’s been as well. Theres nothing better for baseball then Trout playing at his best again. The Bryce Krispy Treats are very much in the playoff hunt, and this is right around where they were in 2026 where they ended up winning the whole thing. A win over the Vultures this week will go a long way.

Week 5 Matchup: Home Vs. Metro Brozak (2-4)

4. Better Call Paul (4-4)

• Move:⬇️1
• Week 2 MVP: Jordan Walker (30)
• Week 3 MVP: Bryan Woo (33)
• Week 4 MVP: Justin Wrobleski (41)
• Week 4 LVP: Bryan Woo (-17)
• Season MVP: Landon Roupp (113)

The best way to describe Better Call Pauls season so far: Unusual. It’s just been a very different (not in bad way) BCP team then we’ve seen in the past. The team’s top attribute has always been that they are aggressive scorers & waiver wire merchants. The case is still very true on the waivers (peep Justin Wrobleskis, Jordan Walker, Christian Walker and Landon Roupps Stats), but BCP hasn’t really had that massive scoring week the teams love to have. In Week 4, they were the lowest scoring team (first time in GM Alex’s career) and lost by 170 points to Cole-Blooded.

Chris Sale, Kevin Gausman, and Cristopher Sanchez have been great for the rotation so far, while James Wood is really starting to emerge as a top hitter for the team. 4 of the Top 10 scorers are waiver wire players, including Christian Walker filling a hole at 1B at the right time.

This team still strikes me as a team that could climb all the way to #1 in the standings if the right things happen, but the lineup is the spot that really needs to pick up with some key hitters (Acuna, Bichette, etc) have been struggling. Better Call Paul vs Hennyville in Week 5 should be a great matchup.

Week 5 Matchup: Home Vs. Hennyville (6-2)

3. Hennyville Weenies (6-2)

• Move:⬇️1
• Week 2 MVP: Logan Gilbert (40)
• Week 3 MVP: Jose Ramirez (47)
• Week 4 MVP: Junior Caminero (28)
• Week 4 LVP: Andrew Painter (-6)
• Season MVP: Jose Ramirez (105)

The top 3 teams in the Power Rankings can go really in any order. After a 6-0 start, an 0-2 performance in Week 4 lands the Weenies at spot number 3 in the rankings. Week 3 we THOUGHT was a loss, but a stat correction gave Hennyville a 1-point victory over Cole Blooded in a matchup of the year candidate.

The team as a whole has been great, but the individual performances have been a little lackluster to start the year. Jose Ramirez (105) is the team’s only player over 100 Points to start off the season. However, pitchers Sandy Alcantara, Yoshi (Donald Glover) Yamamoto, and Gavin Williams have contributed to the hot start for Hennyville. Julio has been mid like every April, but Bobby Witt Jr hit his first Home Run yesterday and the team got Juan Soto back at the right time.

The team has Better Call Paul in Week 5, and a double win could put this team at a confident 8-2 record going forward.

Week 5 Matchup: Away Vs. Better Call Paul (6-2)

2. Nip City Vultures (7-1)

• Move: ⬆️3
• Week 2 MVP: Shohei Ohtani (47)
• Week 3 MVP: Shohei Ohtani (40)
• Week 4 MVP: Shohei Ohtani (41)
• Week 4 LVP: Jack Flaherty (-11)
• Season MVP: Shohei Ohtani (178)

In 4 Weeks so far, the Vultures have finished Top 3 in scoring every week and have led in in scoring in two of them. The team is currently 1st in the standings and just have been clicking as a whole. Shohei Ohtani has been a Top 2 scorer every week for the team and have led the team the last 3. What’s more impressive is Ohtani has been a better Pitcher then Hitter.

Parker Messick continues to be a nice surprise for the team, and Max Fried has continued where he started after Week 1. Lindor, Chourio, and Will Smith are currently injured, so the team will have to rely on some other bat soon.

Big matchup against the Bryce Krispy Treats in Week 5 to stay only at one loss.

Week 5 Matchup: Away Vs. Bryce Krispy Treats (4-4)

1. Cole Blooded (5-3)

• Move: None
• Week 2 MVP: Robbie Ray (27)
• Week 3 MVP: Will Warren (40)
• Week 4 MVP: Max Muncy (35)
• Week 4 LVP: Kenley Jansen (-5)
• Season MVP: Cam Schlittler (123)

Despite a loss to Metro Brozak, and the 3rd best overall record in the league so far, I still have Cole Blooded as the top rank in the Power Rankings through 4 Weeks. So far in two of the matchups they’ve been the leading scorer, including a 170 Point win over a great Better Call Paul team in Week 4. The truth of this team; when they’re clicking, no one is going to beat them. A last-minute scoring change took this team from being at 6-2 to

It’s been weird scoring shuffle of the top players for Cole Blooded, as every week has been a new leader at the top of the board. SP Cam Schlittler has really been the only one whose stayed consistent so far. Drake Baldwin has covered the struggles of MVP runner up Cal Raleigh so far for the catcher position, while Aaron Judge and Yandy Diaz have been right there with Baldwin as the best hitters.

The ceiling is very high for this team, as Gerritt Cole and Anthony Volpe make their returns soon, and Jasson Dominguez is back in the lineup after being called up. Watch out for another high scoring outing this week versus a struggling Palm Beach.

Week 5 Matchup: Home vs Palm Beach (2-6)
