The Cardinals and the Rangers in Field Defense

The Cardinals are going to be going for more with oriented pitchers, which maybe you can see in their returns for these trades. Texas has allowed the seventh lowest batting average on Grounders this season and the Cardinals have allowed the 27th lowest. So that has not been a strength for them. I don't mean to suggest that it's inevitable that the Astros will overtake them. But if anything, it seems like the Rangers are a better team.
