ESPN has released his latest MLB Power Rankings on Monday morning and the Cubs are on top at the #1 spot with a 63-41 record and currently sitting in first-place in the NL Central with an impressive 7.5 game lead over their rival St. Louis Cardinals.
"The Cubs have yet to lose a series since the All-Star break, going 10-6 in that span," ESPN said. "With Aroldis Chapman at the back of the bullpen, Chicago looks like it's the team to beat again." The Cubs are in a party mood after their dramatic 7-6 comeback win on Sunday night against the Seattle Mariners. The top 10 teams in ESPN's MLB rankings were the Chicago Cubs, Washington Nationals, Cleveland Indians, Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants, Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals, Baltimore Orioles, and Boston Red Sox.
