Season 20 Power Rankings #3

There's just 40 games to go in Season 20 and it's time to see how things are shaking out with another edition of the Power Rankings.  Dover is firmly entrenched as the world's top team, continuing their stellar play this season.  Little Rock stays at #2 with impressive numbers, despite falling off a bit in the win column.  Their numbers say they should have a better record.  Boston has the best record since the last rankings and comes in at #4, although their pitching numbers are still a cause for concern.  Here's the full rankings, good luck to all down the stretch!
