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 - Tommy La Stella (.226). Some days, all you need is a bases-loaded walk to lead the podium.
- Hero - Anthony Rizzo (.211). He's on a five-game Hero podium streak, appearing here five times in the last 10 games.
- Sidekick - Starlin Castro (.153). Got the ninth inning started well with his single, but it wasn't to be.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Addison Russell (-.507). Baseball Reference puts his WPA pretty close to the same at -.503. There have only been 17 instances in the past 100 years where a Cub position player had a WPA of -.500 or worse, the last coming on April 13, 2013. As for Russell's double play, it was worth -.419 by itself.
- Goat - Quintin Berry (-.212). All streaks come to an end sometime.
- Kid - Jon Lester (-.184). I guess it says something to have the first inning that he had and still only come in third on the podium for the day.
