The Cardinals were a very poor clutch-hitting team in '07. As a team, they ranked 14th in the NL in their OPS w/ 2 outs and RISP - a feckless .682. Even the Nationals fared better in those situations, a full 46 points higher than the Cards. The NL average OPS in these 2 out, RISP situations was .756. Teams averaged scoring 238 runs in these situations while the Cards were held to 210. It stands to reason that the Cards could have gained 3 wins in the standings by being an average clutch-hitting team in '07.
