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 - Travis Wood (.239). Fun Fact: Monday's outing was the first time in Wood's career that he pitched four innings as a reliever. His previous high was 3⅔ innings on July 28, 2015.
- Hero - Jason Hammel (.097). It's okay to drink the equivalent of Lake Michigan. As long as it's not water directly from Lake Michigan.
- Sidekick - Anthony Rizzo (.085). Edges out the rest of the pitching staff with his run-scoring double in the fifth.
THE THREE GOATS: It's the rare "Butterfly Effect" bump on the Goat podium as Hammel's -.078 hitting is moved out, which in turn causes Wood's -.034 hitting to also be moved out.
- Billy Goat - Addison Russell (-.044). Some days the BABIP gods get their revenge, and today was Russell's day as he hit a liner right to Corey Seager.
- Goat - Kris Bryant (-.035). Because the WPA gods are apparently still not satisfied. At least it was the second podium spot in this game and not the top one. He's now been on the Goat podium four games in a row with WPAs of -.041, -.037, -.030, and -.035.
- Kid - Jorge Soler (-.031). Also victimized by good Dodgers defense as Justin Turner robbed him of a possible run-scoring single in the fifth.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 49: Hammel breaks the tie at third place on the chart while Bryant continues to scratch his head and try to figure out what he did to make the WPA monster so angry at him.
