MMDA Power Rankings: Block Four Edition


Teams sorted by wins, then by run differential after 108 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.

The Northeast Huskies maintain their place atop the power rankings with a league-best 77 wins and unsurpassed +203 run differential. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Miami Manatees have just 41 wins and have allowed 154 more runs than they've scored.

The Huskies may be best team to this point, but the next three—Wilmington, Mohawk Valley and Brooklyn—all play in the Atlantic division. What's notable here is that Brooklyn closed the run-differential gap on Mohawk Valley during Block 4 play. The Lions had a 15-run advantage entering the July.
