I can't speak for the Ms and Mets, but that doesn't surprise me with the Angels. Early on in the season when La Stella was healthy, the Angels were a very strong offensive team. That was ironically before Upton, Ohtani and Simmons got back from injury. They actually got worse when those guys came back (although Shohei did fine). Upton and Simmons never got going, La Stella got hurt in July, and Trout, Ohtani and Upton were all shut down for most of September.
A healthy and performing to their talent Angels lineup is probably a top ten hitting club.
Now... as for the rotation...
