Examine the enemies and check their stats. Many creature are high in 1 stat (usually their damaging stat) so they get a higher to hit and damage modifier.
Something like an Ogre will have high strength to resist shove and do big damage, but low int and wis to allow easier crowd control/spell damage from you.
Also check damage resist/vulnerability. Something armored will be resistant to pierce/slash damage and weak to blunt.
