National League Is Taking Over and the Dodgers Still Can't Be Touched
Three weeks into the grind and the power rankings are already reshuffling like crazy. The Dodgers are still running the show at the top, but everything else in baseball is wide open right now. The National League has absolutely dominated the top 10 this week, and there are some wild swings happening across the league that tell you everything about how volatile early April really is.
The Dodgers Remain Untouchable
Los Angeles sits at 14-4 and they're not going anywhere. Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the real deal. On Tuesday, he gave up a leadoff home run to Francisco Lindor, then turned around and retired 20 straight batters. He pitched into the eighth inning and matched young phenom Nolan McLean pitch for pitch all night, giving the Dodgers a chance to win in the bottom half. This guy finished third in National League Cy Young voting last year and that didn't even factor in his October performance. He's started 2026 with a 2.10 ERA through four starts after representing Japan in the World Baseball Classic. There's simply no one like him right now.

While the Dodgers hold steady at No. 1 and the Yankees stay put at No. 2 with a 10-8 record, everything else is moving. The Mets got absolutely brutal. They were sitting at No. 5 last week and just plummeted all the way to 18 after an eight-game losing streak. Houston got wrecked too, dropping from ninth to 24th after losing nine of their last 10, though they managed to squeeze out a narrow win over Colorado on Tuesday to stop the bleeding.
The bright spots? Minnesota jumped from 24th all the way up to 14th and they're currently leading their division. The Pirates just cracked the top 10 at No. 8 after a strong start to the season. The Braves are at 12-7 with their offense scoring the most runs in baseball while their pitching staff is tied for the second-fewest allowed. The Padres made a huge leap from preseason ranking 19 all the way to No. 3 with a 12-6 record.
Three weeks in and the season is still very much up for grabs. Where your team ranks right now might tell you something, but in a 162-game marathon, it's way too early to panic or get too comfortable.
