The Dodgers might be considered the second-best team in the Los Angeles area after dropping a weekend series to the Angels, but they're still No. 1 in the Memorial Day edition of the MLB Power Rankings.
The Dodgers went 4-2 for the week, taking three straight from the Mets before the Angels came to Dodger Stadium and won two out of three.
The Red Sox and the Yankees moved to No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, while last week's No. 2 team, the Blue Jays, took a nosedive to No. 9 courtesy of a six-game losing streak.
