Brewers Back on Top as September Looms in MLB Playoff Race

Brewers remain No. 1 with four weeks left, the Rays surge to No. 2 and the Dodgers slip in CBS Sports' MLB Power Rankings. The AL features a Rays-Yankees dynamic in the East, a White Sox-led Central with the Guardians nipping at 3½ games back, and a tight West led by the Astros as Mariners and Rangers stay in reach; Yankees/Red Sox are solid wild-card bets with the Guardians, Blue Jays and Orioles in pursuit. In the NL, the Braves appear set to win the East, the Brewers dominate the Central, the Cubs and Phillies are positioned for wild-card spots, and the Diamondbacks-Padres race for the final berth heats up, with the Mariners enjoying the easiest remaining schedule among contenders. Biggest movers include the Astros and Cubs cracking the top five.

Orioles' Three-Game Losing Streak Continues Against Rays.

The Baltimore Orioles have lost three games in a row for the first time this season, struggling to get their bats going against tough starting pitchers. However, the team's pitchers, especially the starters, have been performing well, giving up just seven runs in the last 22 innings. Despite holding their own, the Orioles may not be good enough to compete with the best teams in the league. The team is ranked third in the latest MLB power rankings. On this day in Orioles' history, Jim Gentile hit two grand slams in one game, a club record that still stands.
