MLB Divisional Power Rankings For Week Four

This weeks power rankings saw quite a bit of fluctuation throughout the Power Rankings as several divisions have really started to struggle, and as a result another team has moved into first place in the overall power ranking. For those of you who missed our week three power rankings I’ll briefly go over how this works; thanks to formatting issues, we only use three sabermetric statistics (wOBA, K/BB, and UZR) to figure out how to fill out the rankings. The team that finishes in first in a certain category gets six points, 2nd gets 5 points, etc. So on to the power rankings!

That’s a lot of movement from the third to the fourth week; the AL Central, the AL West, and the NL East all dropped one spot-the NL Central moved up two and the NL West moved up one. In fact, the only division that didn’t budge from last week was the AL East; they stayed steady in the three spot. Tell us what you think in the comments!
