My 2v2 team is 53-30 for the season and my rating is only 1498. Does that seem messed up to you guys or is that normal?

Depends on the ratings that your opponents had. If you lose 30 times against teams that are 200-300 rating lower then you you lose a lot of points. And if you online win on teams that are 200-300 rating lower then you, you don't get a lot of points.
But i've always found it strange aswell. I had 1500 rating some seasons ago and had like 120-105. And some teams had 2000 rating and had like 65-25.

The way it works is like this:
If your team rating is under 1300 or so, you get like 90 points for every win, regardless of your opponents.
Once you get above 1300 you get a lot fewer points for a win and the MMR is what matters to calculate the points you get.
So if you beat teams that are much lower MMR you get like 2 points for a win.
If you lose to a team that has lower MMR you lose like 20 points.
So it's all about the MMR. After every game look what MMR your opponents have and compare it with yours.
If you want to get higher faster you just have to play a lot of games so that you run into higher rated teams, but you have to beat them to actually go up.

I'm repeating the first line I wrote in my previous post
If your team rating is under 1300 or so, you get like 90 points for every win, regardless of your opponents.
So the 1700 team that beat you is a new team, and their TEAM rating is under 1300 or so, but their MMR is 1700. MMR is invisible, you only see it after a game.
The 96 points is the real points they gain, not their hidden MMR. So let's say their MMR is 1735, they could be a new team with a real rating around 500, so the system will give their real rating a 96 point jump while in reality their MMR probably only moved 5-10 points.
Doesn't hurt to try that.
You could even add a new toon to the team.
To preserve the name, and give the option to return to it if you like.
And then move your toons to a new team.
