For those of you who have always clamored for parody in pro sports, congratulations. This is what parody looks like. At least, in the American League this MLB season, as 11 of the 15 teams in the Junior Circuit have between 41 and 48 wins through 90+ games as we approach the All-Star Break. Teams will have some tough choices to make this month as everybody has a shot to win the AL, but does any team really have a shot at anything more?
Obviously, without a salary cap we don't truly have parody in the league and it all still feels like a contest to see who gets to lose to the Dodgers, but we do have some interesting divisional races developing with a surprise 3-team race popping up this month in the National League. Let's get right into this week's power ranking and see where all 30 teams stand as the league prepares to break for the Mid-Summer Classic.

#30 : Los Angeles Angels. This is the only team in the league that hasn't been able to win 40% of their games. It's been a painful season for the Halos.
