The 2025 Los Angeles Angels lived and died by their lineup this season. At their best, the batting order looked deep 1-through-9 and each and every player were belting homers at an extreme rate. The team remained fringe-contenders despite the pitching staff being completely unreliable most of the season (they were solid in June).
Well, the Angels' BA, OBP, SLG, and OPS all ranked in the bottom-ten this month and the pitching staff remained unsteady. The team is now pretty much eliminated, barring the most extraordinary turn-around in the history of the sport, really. The Angels are 8.
