MLB teams aren't always what we expected entering the season. The first one-third of the season has brought plenty of injuries, breakouts, and surprises as teams and offenses round into form. These are the top 30 lineups ranked, post-Memorial Day.
1. New York Yankees An elite lineup is a beautiful thing when it all comes together, and the Yankees have been in harmony since the arrival of Juan Soto . He's been truly elite alongside Aaron Judge, with the duo combining for 31 home runs by Memorial Day.
Giancarlo Stanton has also shown power of old, and Alex Verdugo has been a strong addition. Anthony Volpe has prospered as the leadoff man with an OPS near .800, and Anthony Rizzo continues to show pop.
The offense has also left some meat on the bone, as Gleyber Torres and Austin Wells have struggled, and DJ LeMahieu is set to make his season debut after a foot injury. 2. Los Angeles Dodgers Many expected LA's offense to be otherworldly after the additions of Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernandez.
That duo has been advertised along with Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, and Max Muncy, but it's the rest of the supporting cast that has dragged down the team. James Outman was demoted to Triple-A after a terrible start, Gavin Lux is struggling to recover from his knee injury, and Chris Taylor looks cooked. It will be interesting to see if the team spends even more money to shore up their weaknesses down the stretch.
3. Houston Astros While Houston has been one of baseball's mos.
