With a 26-11 (.703) record at the end of the first week of May, the Philadelphia Phillies own the best record in baseball. They are currently leading the National League East standings by three games over the Atlanta Braves. For a Phillies club that has lost its first two series of the season, what a difference a month makes. Because then, they have fought their way back to prove to the baseball community that they are among the top clubs in Major League Baseball.
The Phillies’ dismal start to the season in the opening week undoubtedly affected the perception of the team among baseball fans. During April, MLB.com posted weekly power rankings, and it was difficult to miss that the Phillies were near the bottom of the list, barely making the top ten. The Phillies have only been ranked No. 8 over the past three weeks, and most recently, No. 7 a week ago.
In order for the Phillies to be in the top five, how many series did they have to win?
The Philadelphia Phillies have finally won over MLB.com writer Will Leitch, and the team moved up the list this week when the most recent MLB Power Rankings were revealed on Monday.
The Phillies are now ranked No. 3, which is a season-high, four positions higher than they were last week when they were ranked seventh in MLB’s Power Rankings. Leitch gave an explanation for the Phillies’ most recent rise in the power rankings.
