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:
- Superhero - Jake Arrieta (.468). Another fun fact: The .468 WPA in this game for Arrieta is the second-highest of his career, trailing only the .470 WPA from his previously mentioned start on June 30, 2014.
- Hero - Anthony Rizzo (.158). And the hits just keep on coming.
- Sidekick - Starlin Castro (.077). After two consecutive days of being nominated the Player (and Non-Player) of the Game while missing the podium, I guess he decided it was time to actually find his way to a stair.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Dexter Fowler (-.129). Something about grand slams and Goat podiums lately...
- Goat - Kris Bryant (-.088). Rough day at the office for Bryant, recording the second 0-for-5 of his career.
- Kid - Addison Russell (-.044). A pretty good day overall with a single and two walks, but the infield fly with the bases loaded in the second wiped all of it out.
The lead at the top of the chart balloons to 30 points as Rizzo and Bryant once again move in opposite directions.
