Writer's Note: The daily selections of the three Heroes and three Goats are based solely on the top three and bottom three WPA scores for the game. The selections are not based on my subjective opinion.
THE THREE HEROES: For the second time this season, Jake Arrieta causes a bump on the Hero podium as his .080 hitting is moved out.
- Superhero - Jake Arrieta (.160). But you know that his pitching -- combined with some spectacular defensive plays behind him -- was going to make the WPA list.
- Hero - Kris Bryant (.118). Put a big exclamation point on the five-run second inning with his three-run shot to left.
- Sidekick - Dexter Fowler (.067). Once again did what he's done so well this season: Set the table.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat / Goat #1 (tie) - Anthony Rizzo (-.042). It was all in that first-inning at-bat. And if Jason Heyward doesn't advance to third on his flyout, he's on the top step by himself.
- Billy Goat / Goat #2 (tie) - Ben Zobrist (-.042). Basically the same story as Rizzo. The solo shot into the cove was nice for style points, though.
- Kid - Javier Baez (-.006). Couldn't find his way into the hit column on Friday night, but the fact that his almost-an-infield-single bunt grounder moved both runners up proved to be enough to keep him from moving any higher on the podium.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 40: Arrieta becomes the first Cub this season to reach the plus-20 mark on the charts.
