MLB lineup tiers: Which teams are in their own league?

The Los Angeles Dodgers have spent the past two months steamrollering just about everything in their path. Ever since a six-game losing streak leveled their record at 8-8, they've gone 40-16 for a MLB-best .714 winning percentage while outscoring their opponents by 95 runs. Part of that has been outstanding work from a rotation led by Cy Young hopeful Hyun-Jin Ryu, and while their bullpen has been shaky, their lineup has largely papered over its mistakes by pummeling opponents. The team's 5.18 runs per game ranks fourth in the league, but adjusted for ballpark their 113 wRC+ is first, and they also have the Senior Circuit's strongest defense, whether measured by UZR, DRS or Defensive Efficiency.
