MLB The Show 19 Team Ratings Top 10

The New York Yankees haven’t had a dominate run of World Series titles since Joe Torre was running the ship. Nevertheless, the Yankees are the No. 1 team on the Show heading into the season.

With players like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton on your squad, the pressure to win is always there. The Yankees head into 2019 as No. 1 in power on the MLB The Show 19 team ratings.  They are also high up in defense (7) and pitching (4).

New York is followed by the Astros, Cubs, Nationals, and Cardinals. One interesting fact about the top five is that the defending champs aren’t in it.

The Boston Red Sox are No. 6 overall in the first MLB The Show 19 team ratings. The BoSox rank 4th in contact, 13th in power and 12th in pitching. Bostonians don’t mind where they are rated now, as long as they are around in the end.

Surprises on the way?

While most gamers had a good idea of what teams would rate high on The Show, which teams could be an early-season surprise? The New York Mets rate No. 1 in pitching, yet they are 13th overall.

New York could be a dangerous team if the offense clicks. Early ratings have them 19th in contact and 18th in power. Adding Robinson Cano and Jed Lowrie to go along with Yoenis Cespedes and Michael Conforto should help the offense.

Another team to keep an eye on are the Cincinnati Reds. They are currently rated No. 14, however, their lineup is not bad. The Show has the Reds No. 1 in contact and 8th in power.
