Earl's MLB power ranking ยท Week 27, 2026

rank
+1.1
rating (points, neutral field)
92-70
record (2025)
+0.5
vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
Chicago is the No. 2 team in my ratings at 1.15 runs better than average on a neutral field, and that number jumped 0.227 in a week, so this is a club the market hasn't fully caught up to yet. At 89-73 with a 0.49 mark against the number, they've been a coin-flip for bettors all year, which tells me the rating edge hasn't shown up in the price. With no key players docked and a near-neutral schedule, I'm buying Chicago as an underrated side going forward.
