For the season Cardinals hitters put up the following offensive value:
wRC+
Holliday: 148
Carpenter: 147
Adams: 136
Craig: 135
Molina: 134
Beltran: 132
Red Sox:
Ortiz: 152
Napoli: 129
Nava: 128
Victorino: 119
Pedroia: 115
Ellsbury: 113
The Red Sox had the best hitter in the series. The Cardinals had the next five best hitters (technically six, but Adams is really a platoon player). Short series will lead to fluky shit like what happened over the last week.
