MLB Power Rankings May 1st, 2015 in "WORD around the WARNING Track"...It's an I-70 World as both the REDBIRDS and ROYALS are among the best in the show through April 2K15!...May 2015 MLB Power Rankings are powered by the NORTH SIDERS are in 2nd place playing "MADDON Ball"! #MLBPowerRankingsMay2K15

A few surprises in the Show through April as the Washington Nationals are among them out the gate rather slowly with a 10-13 April. That starting rotation though if it average at best still might push the Nats over the edge to a NL East Division Title.

The Amazins' run the NL East and those same Nats might have company throughout as it looks like the "Dark Knight" Amazins' Star RHP Matt Harvey has quickly regained form pushing the Mets through a 15-8 April and take that Bronx Zoo Nation!

The Chicago Cubs at a 12-8 clip is getting excellent starting pitching coupled with some Farmhands already getting the call-up and doing damage. Joe Maddon with his "Ace in the Hole" in Bench Coach and former Cubs OF Davie Martinez stamp is already all over the North Siders.

The Redbirds are #1 as we hit May 2015 but will the loss of Ace RHP Adam "Waino" Wainright catch up to them as they have some young arms that need to get up to speed quickly. Remember you have arguably the best back stop in Hardball in Yadier Molina calling the shots!    

Then there is the Kansas City Royals leading the AL Central and doing by both Royals Hardball mixed in with some M.M.A. which is not going to last through 162. The Tigers and those Royals are the toast of the Central in what looks to be a two-headed monster through September and early October.

Don't look now the 'Stros Show led by "Pocket Avenger" Jose Altuve the bet second baseman in the show has won seven in a row and they lead the AL West by four full games at a 15-7 clip. Houston enjoy those 'Stros and Rockets as "Bulls On Parade" and "Area 99" JJ Watt and crew try to fix things through OTA's and Training Camp in August.
