Amazing they have that good of a record.
This is overstating things...fairly significantly, in fact.

The Cardinals are pretty much an average offense. They're a little below average overall, but not having a DH will do that to you when compared to AL squads. They're dead middle in the NL.

They are actually quite good at getting on base but are pretty lousy at getting extra base hits.

They do not have one of the shittiest hitting teams in MLB, but they definitely do not have a plus offensive team either. They aren't the Mets, Phillies, Rays, Mariners, Braves, etc...; those are the shittiest hitting teams in baseball. Hell, they're doing a better job of scoring runs than the mighty Cubs offense.

But when your starters give up 2 runs or fewer about 60% of the time, you're going to win a shit load of ballgames.
