The @Braves continue to hold down the No. 1 spot in the Team Power Rankings! (MLB x @PolymarketSport) https://t.co/icsS

What happened: The Atlanta Braves have retained the top position in the latest MLB Team Power Rankings released Monday in partnership. Boasting a league-best 45-21 record, Atlanta continues to pace the field as the dominant force in the National League.

Why it matters: Maintaining the top ranking underscores the sustained dominance of the Braves, who currently hold a commanding 9.5-game lead over the Phillies in the NL East. While the Dodgers remain a constant threat at No. 2, Atlanta's consistency has provided a significant buffer in the race for home-field advantage.

By the numbers: Atlanta (45-21) leads MLB in winning percentage and currently holds the largest divisional lead in baseball (9.5 games). The Braves have remained at the No. 1 spot for consecutive weeks while the Dodgers (42-24) maintain pressure at No. 2.

What to watch: Atlanta will look to protect its top-tier status during an upcoming stretch against division rivals as the 2026 season enters the middle third.
