The Arizona Diamondbacks moved from #20 to #14 in ESPN’s week two MLB power rankings. This is despite the D-backs holding a better record than seven teams ahead of them.
Through 13 games, Arizona shocked many as they escaped an extremely tough schedule with an 8-5 record. The Diamondbacks went 5-3 against the Dodgers (#5 in the power rankings), 1-1 against the Padres (#4 in the power rankings), and 2-1 against the Brewers (#7 in the power rankings).
It was just about all you could ask for from this young ball club as they attempt to flip the narrative this season.
