Who has been the Cardinals Offensive MVP in 2015?

Hey! I want to ask you, the readers a question. Given the statistics I'm about to tell you, who is the offensive MVP for the Cardinals in 2015?

To make it fair, I'm going to project the playing time for the remainder of the season, yet keep the same statistical RATE for the following players (listed alphabetically):

Matt Carpenter
Randal Grichuk
Jason Heyward
Jhonny Peralta

Matt Carpenter is on pace for 657 plate appearances. In those 657 PA, he's on pace to hit .264 with 40 doubles, 2 triples, 21 homers, 5 SB, 92 runs, 83 RBI, a .363 OBP, .454 SLG, .817 OPS, and .354 wOBA with slightly below average defense.

Randal Grichuk (assuming he plays the majority of games from here on out since Holliday is injured) is on pace for 482 plate appearances. In those 482 PA, he's on pace to hit .291 with 37 doubles, 14 triples, 23 homers, 8 SB, 74 runs, 74 RBI, a .341 OBP, .571 SLG, 912 OPS, and .385 wOBA with above average defense.
