Earl's MLB power ranking · Week 27, 2026

Boston grades 8th at 0.444 runs better than average on a neutral field, but the real story is the +0.341 jump in rating this week against a schedule that's been essentially neutral (-0.007) — that's a sharp move toward the buy side. The market is still pricing them 0.14 runs below this rating, so there's a live edge backing Boston against a typical number, especially with no key players docked and a 0.922 prior-season rating confirming the talent base. At 87-75, this is a team whose recent form is running ahead of its record, which is exactly where you want to be before the market catches up.
