The Dodgers had themselves one heck of a road trip to the east coast his week. They managed to take 4 of 6 games from the Phillies and Nationals before sweeping the Diamondbacks in 4 games out in the desert. An 8-2 record for a road trip is pretty good for any team, and they needed it.
That was enough to get them back where they belong in the MLB Power Rankings. The latest update has the Dodgers back at the number one spot after being down to number two the week before. They knocked off the Yankees for the top spot this week.
