The Kids' Real MLB 2025 Power Rankings...............








__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________



The Kids Real MLB 2025 Top 12 Power Rankings Update August 17th, 2025.......




Based off Total Team WAR, Starting Pitching rotations projections and the WAR-Ratio as a baseline along with other factors and considerations for teams with most likelihood and highest likelihood of making postseason for 2025.......


My Rankings are more accurate and to a lower margin of error when it came to my Regular Season and Post Season Power Rankings in the 2023 season vs the "experts"......they actually reflected performance by teams better than MLB/ESPN/Verlander/The-Ringer.... as good as the "experts" in 2024 and I don't have a full department of people and "professionals" or "experts" like Ken Rosenthal running around a floor of 500 people and a nationwide network of hundreds if not thousands of reporters and journalist..........



It's just me, my WAR-Ratio method and other factors and considerations, basic stats available to everyone and a little bit of calculus along with my Ti-84+ calculator.......thats it......you heard it here first.......

[The~Kid]

Currently beating the "experts" at MLB/ESPN/MLB on Fox at their own game........ and while they think they are matching me....... pretty much just copying and pasting my methodology based on the WAR-Ratio that I developed...... they may be using the same deck/hand as me but they don't know how to really use it or how to play the cards that I invented and developed to their full potential.........



________________________________________________________



9 out of 12 of my picks are postseason ready and 7 out 10 of my picks are postseason ready vs 6 out of 10 from the "experts".......





75% of my preseason picks are postseason ready overall out of 12 and 70% of my picks are postseason ready out of 10 vs 60% of the "experts" top 10 picks.....




I'm beating the "experts" and every "expert" on the planet in terms of Baseball on every level regarding my preseason Power Rankings vs the "experts"............



______________________________________________________




The Kids' Real MLB 2025 Power Rankings ....... Final top 12......... Will update as the season approaches or move the list around but in general once it gets going that doesn't happen unless something big changes......

ImO Realignment doesn't mean the invetable end of the National League and American League....... it would be stupid IMO to go forward with Expansion and get rid of either league and probably the most un Baseball and dare I say un-American thing the sport could do or a Commissioner could do......

The American Leagues and National Leagues history is entwined with the history of Baseball, MLB and America. These are institutions that have lasted the test of time stretching back to even before WWll or WWl........ institutions with real traditions and history behind them that have gone back for generations before us...... doing away with the NL and AL is not only a disservice to the game, history and tradition but a disservice to those who came before and who laid the groundwork, to those playing the game now carrying the tradition and to those generations who will come after as well........



The history of Baseball and MLB should be respected and preserved for future generations and IMO the best way to do that is to separate divisions to North, East, South and West in each respective New American League and New National League.


The Commissioner and MLB Owners should respect real Baseball, respect real traditions and respect the history of the game....... all they do is sit in a desk and collect all the money they can..... the least they can do is respect the game, respect Baseball, respect traditions and respect history.



Pretty much this way many of the legacy franchises are kind of grandfathered in and keep the same area code so to speak respectively AL/NL wise and there is accommodation for Expansion and Realignment while keeping true to MLB and Baseball History and Traditions while still evolving to accommodate modern times and what is called upon by the sport.

The-Kids Real Potential Expansion MLB Realignment ^_^​

​

The New American League​

Division	Teams
AL East	Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Orioles
AL West	Mariners, Angels, A’s, Expansion Team (Portland, Oregon?)
AL South	Astros, Royals, Rangers, Rays,
AL North	Twins, White Sox, Guardians, Tigers

​

The New National League​

Division	Teams
NL East	Mets, Phillies, Nationals, Pirates
NL South	Marlins, Rockies, Braves, Expansion Team (North Carolina/Charlotte?)
NL West	Dodgers, Giants, Padres, Diamondbacks
NL North	Cubs, Reds, Cardinals, Brewers

 

[The~Kid]

Getting rid of the National League or American League is an idea so destructive to the core, history and tradition of the game that maybe it should be talked about......


To remind everyone exactly how important 100+ years old institutions like the AL and NL really are, why they matter and why they should be preserved in the modern day...... these institutions came before MLB and they survived two World Wars and both WWl and WWll........


The AL/NL matters, history and tradition matters and they mean more than a Fist Full of Dollars or other cheap matters and they should be preserved for future generations, the sport and for the core values that Baseball represents.....

 

[The~Kid]

Yup...... right idea but funky ass alignment in leagues........ makes it sort of a East vs West thing NBA/NFL hybrid......


My alignment and idea for North, East, West and South divisions respectively per AL/NL makes more sense and isnt some bastardization of the divisions and NFL/NBAfication of MLB or Baseball...... fuck this lame cuck shit

ALS awareness matters on..... and off the field...... Lou Gehrig Day or not...... IMO with todays technology maybe an advancement is right around the corner and you never know.....


Remember it's been well over 70-80 years since Lou Gehrig was diagnosed and to this day there is no real cure for ALS....... maybe there isn't a cure but despite that IMO people like Sarah Langs are truly an inspiration not just in the real work she does in the sport not out of a need to be "better" or to do anything amazing really...... but just out of a real love for the sport


The work and dedication Langs brings to the sport is equal to that of Astrophysicist or Brain Surgeons or something....... she simply shows us things about the sport it's trying to tell us and not many others or anyone else can see really...... and for no other reason but for a love of the sport.


Even Shohei, Judge, Trout and anyone else would agree and tip their hat to Miss Langs and all the work she does.


Maybe there isn't a cure today or maybe there won't be one tomorrow.......



But that doesn't stop Langs or hinders her in any way and she is simply the best in Baseball.



Reporting/journalism/statistics/analytics....... No one on the planet is better than Miss Langs and she is the best at what she does ^_^

 

[The~Kid]

Awareness to ALS/Lou Gerigs disease...... makes a difference..... on and off the field ^_^

 

[The~Kid]

If you want to make a difference like Vincent and Carmine check out their website and donate to make a difference and find a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and fight for a cure...... with hope like Vincents and Carmines anything is possible ^_^
