Comparing the St. Louis Cardinals lineup to playoff teams

The St. Louis Cardinals are on the verge of clinching the NL Central division title and a trip to the postseason. Their lineup ranks in the top 5 in MLB in runs scored, OPS, and OBP. The team's rotation is much improved and their bullpen is solid. I ranked the Cardinals rotation against other NL contenders earlier this month. The Cardinals lineup will give one team the edge or a "push" if compared to other teams.

The Philadelphia Phillies have star power in their lineup, headlined by perennial MVP candidate Bryce Harper. The St. Louis Cardinals have a variety of options in the lineup and are streaky. They rank very similar in most offensive categories this season. The Cardinals and the Phillies are both playoff teams.
