MLB Power Rankings Week 7: Tigers roar, Yankees crash top 5

The National League still dominates in Week 7 of our MLB Power Rankings, with the Los Angeles Dodgers and theNew York Mets holding on to the top two spots on the list. But a pair of American League squads are making a dent.

The red-hot Detroit Tigers, owners of the AL's best record, leapfrog the No. 4 San Diego Padres and the Chicago Cubs (down this week to No. 7), moving up from No. 5 to No. 3. The AL East-leading New York Yankees, meanwhile, reenter the top five after a No. 7 ranking last week.

Have the Tigers hit their ceiling?

With the Subway Series scheduled this weekend, will the Mets or the Yankees win temporary bragging rights in the Big Apple?

Our expert panel has combined to rank every team based on a combination of what we've seen so far and what we already knew going into the 162-game marathon that is a full baseball season. We also asked ESPN MLB experts David Schoenfield, Buster Olney and Alden Gonzalez to weigh in with an observation for all 30 teams.
