1
Los Angeles Dodgers
The defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers (13-3) have a stacked roster again this season, and they’re showing it on the field early. Slugger Justin Turner is off to another hot start, batting .404 with five home runs thus far.
2
Boston Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox (10-6) are trying to avoid missing the playoffs for a third straight season, something the franchise has only done once since the early 1990s (2010-12). The Red Sox have a plus-21 run differential thus far.
3
Cincinnati Reds
After making the playoffs last season for the first time since 2013, the Cincinnati Reds (9-6) look like they could be headed there again. The Reds have scored the most runs in the league (91) thus far this season.
4
San Diego Padres
The San Diego Padres (10-7) are riding a solid pitching staff through the early part of the season. With a league-low 2.50 team ERA, the Padres are poised to ride the staff toward a second straight postseason appearance.
5
Seattle Mariners
Although the Seattle Mariners (10-6) have allowed more runs than they’ve scored this season, the team finds itself with the second-most wins in MLB. The streaking Mariners have won seven of their previous 10 games.
