2016 MLB Power Rankings: Teams 10-1

— -- When the 2015 season ended, the  Kansas City Royals were celebrating their first World Series title since 1985. After a busy offseason across baseball, will the Royals open 2016 on top of our rankings? The rankings were determined by a group of ESPN.com writers, and we're finishing with teams Nos. 10-1. One note -- while the rankings were voted on by a panel, the projected rankings and division standing were determined by ESPN Insider Dan Szymborski using his ZiPS system. Although not every team lined up the same way, the Cubs were our writers' pick at No. 1 and the favorites according to ZiPS.
