The first power rankings after the interleague stretch show what the games showed, that the NL had the better week than the AL. 9 NL teams climbed in this weeks rankings, and 3 remained where they were last week, compared to 10 AL teams falling this week.

Once again Texas & Kansas City flipflopped in the top two spots this week, but for the first time this season a team showed it may be more than a 2 team race, as Pawtucket picked up one second place vote to close the gap between 2nd & 3rd. Charleston fell one spot for the 2nd straight week, while Rochester rejoined the Top 5.

San Francisco & Cheyenne are newcomers to the Top 10, while Atlanta & Charlotte both fell out of the top 10.

Atlanta, St. Louis & Little Rock all dropped 4 spots this week, the largest drops of any team, while New Orleans continues to skyrocket up the charts. In 28th just two weeks ago, the Breeze climbed 7 spots this week to move all the way to 18th. New Orleans - the only team in the world to finish last in their division all four seasons in Sharkey's World - took advantage of the AL South's weakened state this season, going 9-3 in interleague play to push them to within 2 games of the NL's 2nd wildcard spot.
