ESPN May 6, 2026, 12:02 PM ET We have a new team making its top-five debut in Week 6. The Rays, the second-best team in the American League behind the Yankees, come in at No. 5, their highest ranking of the season, which they started at No. 18. The rest of the top five remains the same, with the Dodgers holding steady at No. 1 despite going 5-5 over their past 10 games, the Yankees retaking the No. 2 spot, the MLB-leading Braves at 3 and the Cubs fourth. Our Week 6 list saw a number of other big movers: The Cardinals and A's reached their highest rankings of the season, Nos. 12 and 13, respectively, while the White Sox had the biggest rise, going from No. 29 to 21. What else has changed in the span of one week? Our expert panel has ranked 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.β¦
