http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/powerranking?week=8 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. 2009 Power Rankings: May 25 RK (LW) TEAM REC COMMENT Los Angeles Dodgers 1 (1) Dodgers 30-15 Jonathan Broxton (5-0, 1.17 ERA, 11 saves) is sixth in wins and third in the National League in saves. Boston Red Sox 2 (5) Red Sox 26-18 Boston has won 16 of its past 20 games at Fenway Park. New York Yankees 3 (7) Yankees 25-19 The Yankees have five walk-off wins in May, the most walk-off wins in one month since September 1988. St. Louis Cardinals 4 (11) Cardinals 26-18 St. Louis' starters have allowed four runs in their past 46.2 innings (0.77 ERA). Texas Rangers 5 (3) Rangers 26-17 Surprisingly, Texas' pitching leads MLB with five complete games.
