After a brief hiatus for the Home Run Derby (congrats, Big Dumper) and the All-Star Game (congrats, National League), it's time to get back to business with power rankings heading into the second "half" of the 2025 Major League Baseball season.

The Boston Red Sox, who traded $313 million slugger Rafael Devers in mid-June, will take a 10-game winning streak into the second half, climbing within a game of the New York Yankees and lurking within striking distance of the first-place Toronto Blue Jays in a once-again rugged American League East.

The Brew Crew moved up three spots and into No. 1 in Matt Snyder's newest MLB Power Rankings. An 11-game winning streak has slingshot the Brewers into the NL Central lead, one game ahead of the Cubs. While it's been a team effort, Milwaukee continues to receive stellar play from Christian Yelich, who leads the team in home runs and RBI.
