The Week 13 Power Rankings are in, and despite suffering their fourth loss of the season at the hands of the Texas Rangers, the New York Yankees continue to hold firm atop the APBL leaderboard. With a power score of 0.952, they remain the most complete team in the league through 13 weeks—even as the top tier grows more competitive around them.
The biggest climber this week is the Cincinnati Reds, jumping from No. 4 into a tie for second place with the Rangers (0.881). After a high-scoring 335-322 win over the Cubs, the Reds look like a serious threat to the Yankees' throne. The Rangers, fresh off their convincing 50-point win over the Yankees, stay put at No. 2 but clearly sent a message.
The Atlanta Braves, who were edged out by just two points in a nail-biter against the Giants, fall one spot to No. 4. The Los Angeles Angels leapfrog the Cardinals to claim the No. 5 position after throttling St. Louis by 71 points, putting up the second-highest total in the league this season.
The Chicago Cubs also inch up a spot to No. 6, despite a loss to the Reds, thanks to a strong performance in a tough matchup. The Cardinals, on the other hand, slide to No. 7 as they struggle to find consistency heading into the final stretch of the season.
The middle tier sees little change. The Tigers hold steady at No. 8 following a dominant win over Baltimore, while the Giants remain at No. 9 despite narrowly defeating the Braves. The defending champs have now won five of their last six and appear to be building momentum again.
In the lower third of the rankings, the Orioles climb back to No. 10, flipping spots with the Blue Jays, who continue their freefall. Toronto’s 99-point outing this week was the lowest single-game total in the league this season. That marks six straight losses for the Jays and plenty of questions for a team that once looked playoff-bound.
The Red Sox, White Sox, and Guardians round out the bottom three, with no movement from last week. Boston, however, picked up a massive 109-point win, showing some late-season life. The White Sox, meanwhile, have now dropped four straight, and the Guardians—despite finally snapping their losing streak—remain in the basement.
With five teams now sitting at 9-4, the playoff picture is getting crowded at the top. Every point matters from here on out.
