MLB Power Rankings Week 7 : Orioles Bounce Rangers but Not Dodgers

Does baseball get any better than this?

It is a quarter of the way through the 2012 season, and the divisional races, along with inter-league play, has provided plenty of drama.

Teams are still emerging, injuries are never-ending and the Orioles and Nationals seem to be really for real.

Over the month of June fans will learn a lot more about how good, or bad their team really is… as the excitement that a new season brings will wash away and the players true colors will start to show.

So, how does your team look thus far as baseball heads into the hot summer months?
