Not much changes in the power rankings the week of the All-Star break. However, TSN took the opportunity to juggle their top 10 — go figure. But they finally have the Tigers at #1 and so it’s almost unanimous in our survey. ESPN is the lone holdout with the White Sox on top but they didn’t even bother updating their rankings this week.
