With the MLB draft now in the books, the next major milestone on the MLB calendar is the All-Star break, and we're now less than a month away with the All-Star Game scheduled for July 12 in San Diego.
In the meantime, the MLB landscape continues to shift with each passing week, but everyone is still chasing the Chicago Cubs, who picked up two more series wins last week and are now 43-18 on the year.
While the Cubs are in a tier of their own at this point, the Texas Rangers and Washington Nationals have also begun to separate themselves from the rest of the pack as two teams to be reckoned with.
A little further down the rankings, the St. Louis Cardinals are a team on the rise after a weekend sweep of the rival Pittsburgh Pirates, and the Detroit Tigers are showing some signs of life behind standout rookie Michael Fulmer.
On the other end of the spectrum, the Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago White Sox have continued their impactful crashes back to earth after terrific starts to the season.
One thing remains true: These rankings are a fluid process, with teams moving up or down based on where they ranked the previous week. If a club keeps winning, it will keep climbing—it's as simple as that.
Sticking with the the "one month from All-Star weekend" theme, we've included a rundown of each team's potential All-Star candidates in lieu of our usual hitter and pitcher of the week picks.
Now here's a look at where all 30 MLB teams currently stand.
