I have injuries turned off, so players who were injured in RL and who play regularly in the sim will sometimes significantly affect the team results and record. Also, player usage and lineup orders make a big difference as well.

OAK team ERA in real life: 2.96
BAL team ERA in real life: 3.28
American League ERA: 3.63
LAD team ERA in real life: 2.98
National League ERA: 3.63
In your sims, is the BAL team ERA ever .35 lower than the league ERA? Is the OAK team ERA ever .67 lower than the league ERA? Is the LAD team ERA ever .65 lower than the league ERA?
In my experience, OAK, BAL, and LAD come near and sometimes exceed the league ERA. But I'm not sure I've ever seen them match their real life ERA.
As for NYY, they do import with a lot of blue fielding ratings (18-20 on a scale of 20). But I'm sure sure all those players merit the high fielding ratings. I'll check it out some more.
