Dodgers Still Rule in MLB Power Rankings
Is anyone really surprised that the Los Angeles Dodgers sit at the top of the latest MLB Power Rankings from The Athletic? Probably not.
On a team filled with superstars ranging from Freddie Freeman to Shohei Ohtani, the outlet recently gave some love toward center fielder Andy Pages.
The Dodgers are in the No. 1 slot right now with every other MLB ballclub taking aim at the defending back-to-back World Series champions.
As it should be in the MLB world.
Los Angeles is taking a day off on Thursday, a well-deserved day off after sending the New York Mets out of Dodger Stadium with a series win on Wednesday night.
The Dodgers are just making tracks toward another National League West Division title already. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts must be happy with what he's seen his ballclub do coming out of Spring Training.
It's like the Dodgers picked right up from how they have played the past two seasons.
That's a compliment, by the way.
But, what about Pages? The Athletic's Grant Brisbee shines a light on his play.
"With all of that weaponry on the Dodgers, all that largesse, who’s leading the National League in batting average, on-base percentage, hits, RBIs and OPS?" Brisbee wrote.
"Why, the humble Pages, who is also zipping around center field like a water bug and earning his defensive keep," Brisbee continued. "He’d need a 2.00 ERA to be the Dodgers’ best player, but he’s doing as much as he possibly can otherwise."
