Chicago Cubs drop 2 spots in Bleacher Report’s MLB power rankings
The Chicago Cubs are struggling out of the gate this season, being last in the NL Central with a 7-8 record. They are now also dealing with injuries to the pitching staff. After a week of not being able to turn things around, one outlet has them positioned lower than usual on their power rankings. Let’s take a closer look at where they fell to and why this happened.
The Chicago Cubs fall to 15th in Bleacher Report’s power rankings
Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter wrote the MLB power rankings and had the Cubs falling to 15th. Chicago went 3-3 on the week, winning two of three in Tampa Bay against the Rays and then losing two of three at home to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Reuter explained why he is not too concerned with the team’s slow start and injuries.
“The Cubs needed a late rally to avoid getting swept by the Pirates at home, but their first comeback victory of the season could provide a nice shot in the arm. Losing Cade Horton for the year was a major blow last week, but the club does have an in-house replacement in former All-Star Justin Steele who is expected to return from his own Tommy John surgery at some point in the first half.”
Not only did they drop two spots, but the Cubs also fell out of ‘Tier 3’ into ‘Tier 4’. Below are the teams in the fourth tier in order of their power rankings:
- Boston Red Sox
- Milwaukee Brewers
- Chicago Cubs
- Texas Rangers
- Detroit Tigers
- St. Louis Cardinals
- Seattle Mariners
- Los Angeles Angels
The Cubs need to find ways to improve at the plate as they currently rank 24th with a .658 team OPS with runners in scoring position. They will need to figure out how to get going if they want to climb the power rankings.
