With the Tuesday trade deadline quickly approaching, the next week will be interesting for a number of teams -- including some of the clubs at the top of this week's MLB Power Rankings.

A number of the best teams have struggled recently, making the deadline even more important to them. The Phillies are 7-9 in their past 16 games, the Orioles are 3-8 in their past 11 games, and the Yankees are on a 10-22 stretch. Meanwhile, the Royals have caught fire out of the All-Star break, and the Astros have vaulted into our top 10 following their dismal start.
