Season 29 Power Rankings #2

Since we're at the midpoint of Season 29, it's time for another edition of the power rankings!  Holding on to the top spot and pulling away from the pack is Atlanta, who went 33-7 since the last rankings and is tops in pitching and offense.  They look like the team to beat this season once again.  Philadelphia comes in at #2 and the NL's top rated team.  Texas, Las Vegas, and Buffalo, who climbed from #15, round out the top 5.  Also surging is Boston, up 22 spots to #7 recovering nicely from a slow start.   Here are the rest of the biggest climbers, as well as the biggest falls since the last rankings.

Biggest Climbers: #7 Boston (+22), #9 Pawtucket (+13), #5 Buffalo (+10), #6 Salt Lake City (+8), #8 New York (+8)

Biggest Falls:  #25 Trenton (-14), #14 Cheyenne (-12), #30 Houston (-11), #17 Seattle (-8), #20 Vancouver (-8)

Here are the complete rankings, good luck to all in the second half of Season 29!
