Earl's MLB power ranking · Week 27, 2026

Tampa Bay grades out at 0.715 runs better than an average team on a neutral field, good for 6th in the league, and the rating is climbing fast with a +0.356 jump versus last week. The 98-64 record is backed by a market-beating +0.12 versus the closing line, so this is a legitimate buy rather than a team propped up by results. With a near-neutral schedule (-0.033), no injury dock, and a rating that already dwarfs the prior-season mark of -0.097, I'm treating the Rays as underrated and laying the runs wherever the number sits below their true edge.
