Since the All-Star break, the Cardinals have gone 19-7, while outscoring their opponents by 47 runs. Just to give you some context, if they performed that way over a full season, the Cardinals would win 118 games and have a run differential of +293. That’s pretty good. The Dodgers, by the way, are currently on pace to outscore opponents by 350 runs. That is insane.
Back to the Cardinals, they have achieved this record with great offense, great defense, and great starting pitching. They are 1st in baseball in wRC+ in the 2nd half with a 144 wRC+.
