I'd assume them not really being a big market team nor spending the huge sums of money every year to "buy championships" are a few reasons. Rarely crack the top 10 in payrolls during those years.

They win a lot because they've been really smart with putting together teams and having great luck than being an actual powerhouse in the NL.
