Milwaukee sits atop the MLB Power Rankings as NL West and AL West races tighten. Pasquantino anchors the Royals’ late-season surge after an AL Player of the Week run. Skenes continues historic ascent for Pittsburgh, while Laureano’s glove and Cal Raleigh’s season-long power pace shape the fantasy outlook. Ohtani’s Dodgers-Padres duel, Alvarez’s looming return, and Roman Anthony’s big-league debut add high-leverage fantasy angles for the stretch run.

Basallo’s starting role and Bubba Chandler’s arrival fuel waiver-wire chatter, and the piece blends current form with long-term upside to guide rosters through a chaotic, chaotic August-to-October sprint.
