Due to the Easter Holiday these rankings are coming out a day later than they usually do. These rankings will include games played on Monday, April 21st.

The Atlanta Braves take over the top spot in our rankings this week, leap frogging over the Tigers and the Dodgers. Even with a pitching staff decimated by injuries, they continue to get the job done night in and night out. The Milwaukee Brewers are hot on their tails and would have secured the number one spot in my rankings had they not lost 2 of 3 to the Braves to start the season. Here are the rest of the rankings.

1. Atlanta Braves (13-6)
2. Milwaukee Brewers (15-5)
3. L.A. Dodgers (12-8)
4. Oakland A’s (13-6)

6. Washington Nationals (11-9)
7. N.Y. Yankees (11-8)
