Okay, how many people had "seven scoreless innings for Dan Haren in the series opener" in the office pool? Yeah, I was pretty sure the pot was going to roll over on that one.

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 - Dexter Fowler (.289). What better way to start a game against the Cardinals than with a homer. Following it up with a two-run double is just icing on the cake.
- Hero - Dan Haren (.109). I'm still not fully convinced that we were actually seeing the real Dan Haren on the mound.
- Sidekick - Anthony Rizzo (.099). And with this podium spot, he now moves past the 100 Hero points threshold for the season. I'm not sure what the gift is for that, though. Maybe a bronze Superman statue or something.
THE THREE GOATS: And for the third straight day there's a bump on the podium as Haren's -.020 hitting is moved out, leading to another large tie to be broken by executive decision.
- Billy Goat - Kris Bryant (-.091). Victimized once again by a double play in the air, but it probably wouldn't have kept him from the top of the podium even if Chris Coghlan hadn't been running.
- Goat - Tommy La Stella (-.039). I was waiting for a Willie Mays Hayes moment after his third flyout.
- Kid - David Ross (.000). It was only a six-way tie this time instead of eight. He wins the final spot for hitting into a double play... seems like as good of a reason as any.
