Welcome to Locked on MLB, your daily national podcast covering Major League Baseball as part of the Locked on Podcast Network hosted by Tommy Stokke.
Monday means it's time for Power Rankings to see who had the best week in baseball, but this week there is a bit of a twist. There weren't enough teams with good enough weeks to fill all 10 usual spots, so instead of rewarding those teams with a top-10 placement, we look at the eight teams worthy of a spot. 
Sitting on a 9-game winning streak and coming off sweeps of the Minnesota Twins and Los Angeles Angels, the Yankees are on top and look like the team we all expected them to be. They hold the No. 1 spot over the San Francisco Giants, who finished the week 5-2 with a big weekend series win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Seattle Mariners are third this week followed by the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates rounding out the top five. 
The final segment is a look at the Los Angeles Dodgers and why they have the most important week in baseball. We'll see how everyone responds to Cody Bellinger's benching as the Dodgers hit the road for four games in Arizona against the Diamondbacks and a three game weekend set against the Padres.
