Last week, the Arizona Diamondbacks finished atop the Week Two BaseballEvolution.com Power Rankings. The D'Backs promptly went 1-6 in Week Three and will likely not regain the top spot again this season.
The season continues to provide fans with surprises, however, as the once down and out San Francisco Giants rattled off five straight wins, and Barry Zito has gone two games in a row without giving up a run. In the American League, the second best record in the league belongs to none other than the Baltimore Orioles, who currently rank fifth in the league in runs allowed. Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners finished the week with one win between them after relatively strong starts to the season.
And somehow, after three weeks, the teams of the AL Central have settled into the same positions that they finished 2006 in.
Without further ado, here are the Week Three Power Rankings. Enjoy and, as always, feel free to comment.
