Cardinals Still Finding Their Stride

Despite having the best record in baseball at 37-19, the Cardinals obviously still haven’t played up to their full capabilities. Matt Holliday, ostensibly their best hitter, has a .244 average and a .743 OPS, while his career numbers are a much more robust .310 and .917. David Freese, a career .292 hitter with a .797 OPS, is hitting .256 with an OPS of .690. Sure, guys like Carlos Beltran, Yadier Molina, Matt Carpenter and Pete Kozma are meeting or exceeding their offensive expectations, but nobody is having a crazy offensive first half that looks like an outlier.
