Top MLB Teams to Watch in 2025: Power Rankings, Highlights & Tickets

As we dive into the 2025 MLB season, the competition is heating up and fans are already debating which teams will dominate through the summer and into October. Whether you’re a die-hard supporter or just love catching a game on a sunny afternoon, here’s a look at the top contenders this year and why they’re worth watching (or betting on).

1. Atlanta Braves

The Braves continue to be a force in the National League. With a core lineup that features both speed and power, plus one of the most consistent pitching rotations in the game, they’re poised for another deep playoff run. Ronald Acuña Jr. is back in MVP form and Matt Olson is launching bombs on the regular.

2. Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers are, well, the Dodgers. With Shohei Ohtani now in LA and already making headlines as both a slugger and pitcher, it’s almost unfair. Mix in Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, and you’ve got a team that’s built to win 100+ games — again.

3. Baltimore Orioles

Don’t call it a fluke. The O’s shocked everyone last season with their young, electric lineup and they’re back for more. Adley Rutschman is blossoming into one of the best catchers in baseball, and their farm system continues to produce studs.

4. Houston Astros

The Astros have been perennial contenders for the better part of a decade, and they’re not slowing down. With Yordan Alvarez continuing to mash and a deep bullpen, Houston looks ready to reclaim their throne.

5. New York Yankees

Aaron Judge and Juan Soto in the same lineup? Enough said. With a retooled roster and some early-season heat, the Bronx Bombers are looking like real threats in the American League.
