The Cubs have been the most consistent lineup all year.
2. Los Angeles Dodgers

They are in the top 2 in team AVG, OBP, SLG and runs scored.
3. New York Yankees

The Yankees are towards the top of the league in HR, runs, and have two of the top batting average leaders.
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. Philadelphia Phillies

They are one of the most feared lineups in the league.
6. Arizona Diamondbacks

They have picked up from where they left off a year ago as one of baseball’s best lineups.
7. Boston Red Sox

They are one of the best lineups in baseball, but they do miss Bregman, who is on the IL.
8. St. Louis Cardinals

The Cardinals are one of the hottest teams in baseball and have moved into the top 10 in runs scored, and are a top 5 team in batting average.
9. New York Mets

The Mets lineup is underrated and will only get better when both Lindor and Soto catch fire.
10. Seattle Mariners

They have hit a lot of HR, mostly thanks to their power-hitting catcher. They struggle to score runs at home, though.
