WAR is a weird stat for some people. Right now it's favoring Tommy Edman on the Cardinals in weird ways. His slash line is 252/315/372 with a OPS+ of 98, yet he ranks Fourth among all NL position players wiith a WAR of 5.0, better than Austin Riley, who's slashing 285/351/557 with an OPS+ of 147.

First off Edman's only .2 ahead of Riley so it's not like Riley is head-scratchingly low in WAR. Also he's a second baseman so his WAR is being generated by being compared to other second basemen, generally a weaker hitting bunch. Finally he's putting up a 2.8 D-WAR as compared to Riley's .3 so Riley, even by WAR is clearly the superior offensive player, but the totality has them about even in helping their team actually win games.
