What happened: The Atlanta Braves continue to hold the number one position in the latest MLB power rankings, maintaining a 45-21 record and a 9.5-game lead in the NL East. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies have surged into the top five under new manager Don Mattingly, going 26-11 since his takeover.

Why it matters: Atlanta's consistency is the gold standard this season, as the team has yet to record a sub-.500 week. Conversely, the Aaron Judge rib injury has caused a noticeable slide for the New York Yankees, who dropped to fifth following news that their captain will miss 4-6 weeks.

What to watch: Watch for the Phillies to continue their push for the NL East lead as they host a pivotal series against the surging Milwaukee Brewers this week.
