Season 22 Power Rankings # 3

We're headed down the home stretch of Season 22, but before that it's time to check in with another edition of the power rankings.  The top teams continued to play very well since the last rankings, with not a lot of movement at the top.  Dover holds on to the top spot again, with the offense stepping it up even further as of late.   Tampa Bay is a very close 2nd, playing incredible ball as of late.   Pittsburgh has shown they are capable of giving Dover a run for their money in the NL, as they've been playing outstanding since the last rankings, and they come in at #3.   Other teams are playing very well also, but the teams above them didn't falter.  Here's the complete power rankings!
