Newsweek's latest Baseball Power Rankings reveal a third consecutive new No. 1, bypassing the Los Angeles Dodgers.

this week, dropping five spots to No. 9. Los Angeles went from the first team to win 10 games to almost on the brink of .500 — but even with a 14-11 record, they are the only National League West team with a winning record.

Los Angeles is coming off a nine-game homestand that saw the Dodgers on their first true skid of the year. They lost three straight and lost five of six against the Washington Nationals and New York Mets. They are now 4-7 in their last 11 games as they continue to navigate injuries to the pitching staff. Bobby Miller has landed on the injured list with shoulder inflammation, Emmet Sheehan has been battling forearm inflammation since the early part of spring training and James Paxton has been having trouble finding consistency in his starts. Walker Buehler is expected to return by the end of the month.

The Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets were the biggest risers while the Dodgers joined the Houston Astros, the Los Angeles Angels, the San Diego Padres, and the Pittsburgh Pirates as the biggest fallers.Will Shohei Ohtani Play Outfield for the Dodgers in 2024?
