Power Rankings: Contenders clash in climb toward No. 1

As we count down the hours until the non-waiver trade deadline on Tuesday afternoon, we're finding out just how big a move some teams can make in our Power Rankings. This week, the Diamondbacks made the biggest jump in the rankings, moving up five spots to return to the top 10. Will they cement that status with a big trade while trying to keep up with the Dodgers, holding steady at No. 5 now that they have Manny Machado in the fold? And similarly, two teams took especially big tumbles, with the Braves falling from the top 10 with their four-spot decline and the Giants almost leaving the top 20 as their playoff hopes dry up.
