The first month of the 2025 Major League Baseball season has delivered its share of surprises and highlight moments. Early frontrunners have emerged, some perennial contenders have stumbled, and new faces are stepping into the national spotlight. Let’s dive into the latest MLB power rankings and see how all 30 teams stack up as of April 29, 2025.

Giants Grab the Top Spot

The San Francisco Giants claim the No. 1 position in this week’s MLB power rankings. Strong pitching, consistent hitting, and performances from breakout stars like Jung Hoo Lee have pushed the Giants to a 19-10 record. Their success against winning teams further validates their position atop what is arguably baseball’s toughest division.

Check out Bleacher Report’s detailed breakdown of how the Giants and other teams are moving in the rankings this week.

Tigers and Mets Surge Into Contention

Hot on the Giants’ heels are the Detroit Tigers and New York Mets. Both teams feature pitching staffs that have dominated early, with the Tigers’ starting rotation posting a collective ERA under 3.00. The Mets, meanwhile, lead all of baseball with a 2.36 team ERA, showing their strength on the mound.

According to MLB.com’s latest weekly update, the Mets have been one of 2025’s most entertaining teams, energized by the return of key players like Jeff McNeil and Francisco Alvarez.

Dodgers Remain a Force

The Los Angeles Dodgers hold steady near the top of most MLB power rankings, despite recent injury concerns and occasional bullpen hiccups. Closer Tanner Scott, for example, has managed a solid start, but some underlying issues are beginning to emerge.

Other big gainers this week include the Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees. The Cubs have faced a grueling stretch against tough competition but remain resilient. The Yankees, bolstered by new faces and steady veterans, continue to find ways to win.

On the flip side, the Baltimore Orioles and San Diego Padres have stumbled of late, dropping out of the top 10 after slow weeks.
