The Toronto Blue Jays have finally overtaken the St. Louis Cardinals for top spot in the TSN.ca MLB Power Rankings. It's the first time in more than three months that the Cardinals have not been rankd No. 1.

There has been a sense of inevitability that the Jays would be able to catch St. Louis, with a league-best run differential (93 runs better than second-best St. Louis!), but it took a couple of Cardinals injuries, to catcher Yadier Molina and starting pitcher Carlos Martinez, to get the Blue Jays to the top of the table. Marcus Stroman's return to the Toronto rotation hasn't hurt their rating either.

There aren't a lot of big moves to be made this late in the season, but the New York Yankees climb from 12 to nine, getting Masahiro Tanaka back in the rotation, while the melting-down Washington Nationals drop from 10 to 13.
