This one was the racing definition of "by a nose", or even "by a hair". The difference between first and second place on the podium: .001.

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: And down the stretch they come... it's...
- Superhero - Jake Arrieta (.198). It was a squeaker and there was plenty of jostling, but his six innings of shutout ball...
- Hero - Anthony Rizzo (.197). ...just edged out his homer down the right-field line. Oh, and can Rizzo turn on a pitch, or what?
- Sidekick - Chris Coghlan (.155). Some nights you go 2-for-3 with a triple and drive in two runs... and you come in third.
THE THREE GOATS: Another two-way bump on the Goat podium as Arrieta's -.049 hitting is moved out. It's the 29th bump on the season and the 26th from the Goats. For comparison purposes, there were 34 bumps in 2014 for pitcher hitting, but only 19 of them came from the Goats with the other 15 (I know, right?) coming from the Heroes.
- Billy Goat - Kyle Schwarber (-.071). Maybe he just wanted to give a little of the spotlight back to Rizzo. It might be an unwritten clubhouse agreement.
- Goat - Kris Bryant (-.044). In the "I must be oblivious" department: I didn't realize until yesterday that Bryant is leading the National League in strikeouts. I guess when you have an .822 OPS those things kinda fall by the side of the road.
- Kid - Miguel Montero (-.024). Even his run-scoring double couldn't help him out, especially since it was the extra point on the Cubs' touchdown.
