Not worried about Cardinals

Why am I not worried about the Cardinals? Here is a list of the best hitters in the NL. What is missing? Birds are missing. Yes, the Cardinals are surging...., but they are not good at the core - behind the plate. Take a look:

RK  Player       Team   Pos    R    H
1   Marte, K     ARI    CF    87  163
2   Acuna Jr., R ATL    LF   107  158
3   Arenado, N   COL    3B    89  155
3   Blackmon, C  COL    RF    96  155
5   Freeman, F   ATL    1B   103  154
6   Albies, O    ATL    2B    82  152
7   Marte, S     PIT    CF    89  149
7   Yelich, C    MIL    RF    92  149
9   Rendon, A    WSH    3B    96  148
9   Castellanos  CHC    OF    79  148 <-
10  Baez, J      CHC    SS    87  147 <-
11  Hosmer, E    SD     1B    65  146
11  Rosario, A   NYM    SS    63  146
11  Story, T     COL    SS    95  146

The next Cardinal? After two more Cubbies
21 Bryant CHC with 135 hits
...
26 Rizzo CHC with 129 hits

all the way to 28th place

28 Goldschmidt, P STL 1B 128 hits <- first for Cardinals
and after Goldschmidt

41 DeJong, p STL with 118

then a bit longer till you get the the rest of the Cardinals. Let's face it. The Cardinals are hot right now, but overall, they can not hit! You have to trust the talent and the statistics. They both favor the Cubs.
