Bleacher Report's MLB Power Rankings for late June 2026 show the Chicago Cubs re-entering the top 10, while the Houston Astros continue their upward climb and the Atlanta Braves fall to a new low. The update comes approximately one month before the MLB trade deadline, with a remarkable 24 of 30 teams sitting within five games of a playoff spot as of Monday.
