MLB Power Rankings 7.0 (Week of May 12): Phillies soar up the charts; Yankees hold steady; Mets in decline

Once again, we crown a new No. 1 in our seventh MLB Power Rankings of the 2024 season — a scrappy team that is currently clicking on all the proverbial cylinders. On the local side, the Yankees continue to rank among the top five in baseball, while the Mets slipped down the charts with symptoms of mediocrity on full display. Philadelphia Phillies (Previous #3): The Phils have the best record in baseball, and with good reason. Bryce Harper is having an MVP-caliber season, and has been solid defensively at his new first base position.
