These are the top 10 lineups in MLB right now:
1. Los Angeles Dodgers

They are in the top 2 in team AVG, OBP, SLG, and lead the league in runs scored.
2. Chicago Cubs

The Cubs have been the most consistent lineup all year.
3. Arizona Diamondbacks

They have picked up from where they left off a year ago as one of baseball’s best lineups.
4. Detroit Tigers
Detroit Tigers right fielder Kerry Carpenter (30) bats against Chicago White Sox during the eighth inning at Comerica Park in Detroit on Saturday, April 5, 2025.
Guys like Kerry Carpenter and Spencer Torkelson have taken the next step. Riley Greene is a star, and Gleyber Torres is fitting in nicely.
5. Boston Red Sox

They are one of the best lineups in baseball, but they do miss Bregman, who is on the IL. We will see how they do without Devers now, though.
6. New York Yankees

The Yankees overall numbers still look good, but their offense has been the worst in baseball over the past week.
7. Philadelphia Phillies

They are one of the most feared lineups in the league.

The Mets lineup is underrated, and Soto is starting to catch fire.
9. Cincinnati Reds

They have moved into the top 10 in runs scored and stolen bases.
10. St. Louis Cardinals
