Bleacher Report released power rankings of the Major League Baseball teams post deadline, and the Braves are not the last team.

Bleacher Report ranks the Braves at no. 22 –– out of 30 teams –– dropping six spots pre-deadline. The Braves are in front of the Phillies even though the Braves were just swept by the Phillies in a four-game series.

The Dodgers top the list at no. 1 followed by the Astros, Nationals and Indians. With the call up of infield prospect Ozzie Albies, the Braves could climb up a few more spots before the end of the season.
