One month of the 2016 MLB season is in the books, but there's still a lot of baseball to be played.
April was dominated by the city of Chicago, as the Cubs and White Sox have separated themselves from the pack here in the early going.
The Washington Nationals and New York Mets appear ready for a tight battle in the NL East, while the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners have been two of the hottest teams on the American League side of things as they battle for AL West supremacy.
We're still dealing with a relatively small sample size at this point, so one strong week of play can often result in a significant climb up the rankings with so many teams clustered together with similar records.
The same goes for a rough week sending a team falling down the rankings, but one thing remains true: These rankings are a fluid process, with teams rising and falling based on where they were ranked the previous week. If a team keeps winning, it will keep climbing—it's as simple as that.
So with April officially in the rearview, here is a look at where all 30 MLB teams stand.
