Summary

Coming out of the All-Star break, this week's MLB power rankings encompass just one weekend's worth of games, so don't expect to see any dramatic shuffling.However, every game is important this time of year for teams on the fringe.The Oakland Athletics and Washington Nationals continue to play their way into legitimate contention, while teams in already precarious positions like the Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies lost ground.It's telling that the top six teams in our rankings remaining unchanged. NL Hitter: Daniel Murphy, Colorado RockiesStats: 8-for-12, 3 2B, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 5 RGiven his return to health and move to Coors Field, big things were expected from Daniel Murphy after he signed a two-year, $24 million deal with the Colorado Rockies during the offseason.Instead, he was hitting a rather pedestrian .274/.328/.447 with seven home runs and 44 RBI in 242 plate appearances heading into the All-Star break.Over the course of one three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds to kick off the second half, he raised his OPS from .775 to .844, slugging three doubles and two home runs in 13 plate appearances.The 34-year-old also finally hit his first home run of the season at home on Friday."It was a big swing," Rockies manager Bud Black told reporters. This four-game series will be the perfect chance for either the Nationals to trim the deficit or the Braves to flex their muscles as the team to beat in the NL East.The two squads met just five times during the first half, with the Nationals holding a narrow 3-2 advantage and a plus-seven run differential.That means they have 14 more head-to-head matchups before the season is over.Both teams are also in need of pitching at the trade deadline, and if either turns in a commanding performance, it could be some added incentive for the other to swing a deal and improve its roster.It's still only July, but a lot rides on this four-game series for both teams.
