Lineup construction might not seem like it matters a lot, but putting every piece in its right place can swing a win total a few games in the positive direction. For a team like the Los Angeles Angels that is desperately trying to return to relevance, every "W" counts.
The 2025 version of the Angels' lineup was an interesting thing, ranking at the top, middle, and bottom of different key metrics. The Halos crushed 226 homers, good for fourth in the majors. But, with a 25th-ranked runs scored total, 673, many of those homers were solo shots, and the club struggled to score in other ways.
