LitZone has released its MLB Power Rankings for the start of the 2025 season, highlighting teams expected to contend for the playoffs. The Detroit Tigers, ranked tenth, rely on pitchers Tarik Skubal and Jack Flaherty and outfielder Riley Greene to build on last season's surprise playoff run. The New York Yankees, at ninth, are led by power hitter Aaron Judge and the electrifying Jazz Chisholm Jr., while Max Fried is tasked with bolstering a rotation missing Gerrit Cole. The Texas Rangers, eighth, depend on Corey Seager’s power and Jacob deGrom’s health for success, while the Arizona Diamondbacks (seventh) look to bounce back with stars like Ketel Marte and Corbin Burnes. Lastly, the Chicago Cubs, ranked sixth, aim to end their playoff drought with new additions like Kyle Tucker and the development of Seiya Suzuki.
