MLB Power Rankings: Where All 30 Teams Stand After Week 2

0 of 30

Kathy Kmonicek/Associated Press The 2015 MLB season is now two weeks old, and while that gives a slightly larger sample size from which to compile this week's MLB power rankings, the season is still very young. When putting together these rankings on a weekly basis, the following factors will be considered:

Last week's record

Quality of opponent

Key injuries/trades

Recent performance beyond the last week

That said, here in the early going, there is an extra factor that comes into play: expectations entering the season.

If we were to simply base these rankings entirely on each team's performance so far this year, there would essentially be no difference between them and the current standings.

The goal here is to be as objective as possible, but a certain amount of subjectivity still has to come into play this early in the season for power rankings to work.

Just remember: This is a fluid process. Teams will rise and fall on a weekly basis, relative to where they ranked the previous week. You keep winning, you keep climbing—it's as simple as that.
