MMDA Power Rankings: Midseason Edition


Teams sorted by wins, then by run differential after 84 games. Note that this is not the official tie-breaking method for playoff seeding or draft order. This is an attempt to rank the league's best teams to this point.

Congratulations to the Northeast Huskies, who unseat Wilmington at the top of the charts thanks to a league-best +156 run differential. The Atlantic and Northeast divisions continue to be the most robust, with the top five teams in the rankings and with eight of 10 teams at .500 or better.
