Here are this week's rankings:
1. Houston Astros (52-25 overall record, No. 1 ranking last week) -- A bounce-back 6-1 week keeps them barely in front of the rampaging Los Angeles Dodgers. With Dallas Keuchel now out through the All-Star Game, the rotation is in desperate need of a stud pick-up. Can anyone say Jose Quintana, Gerrit Cole or Sonny Gray? With stakes this high, general manager Jeff Luhnow will deliver.
2. Los Angeles Dodgers (51-26, No. 4) -- They have just one loss in their past 17 games. Wow!
