As the MLB season progresses into May, the power rankings reveal a significant domination by National League teams, occupying seven of the top ten spots. The rankings reflect on team performances thus far while factoring in player conditions, such as injuries and recent batting slumps. For instance, the Dodgers are still finding their offensive rhythm despite injuries to key players like Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow. Additionally, the Cubs' managerial decisions, such as lineup changes, respond to recent offensive struggles, underlining the strategic adjustments teams are making as the season unfolds.
Shohei Ohtani turned on the first pitch he saw from Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara on Tuesday night and launched it 114 mph for a leadoff homer.
The Cubs' offense came back to Earth over the weekend in a series loss to the Phillies, prompting manager Craig Counsell to make lineup changes.
