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 - John Lackey (.356). Fun Fact: His ERA is down to 2.88 for the season. And it's the highest in the starting rotation.
- Hero - Anthony Rizzo (.207). I'd love to see the MLB StatCast route efficiency of Chris Owings on Rizzo's RBI double in the sixth. Something tells me it was pretty low.
- Sidekick - Pedro Strop (.117). Pitched a strong eighth inning. Back when the game was still close.
THE THREE GOATS: It's the third day in a row of podium bumps as Lackey's -.059 hitting is moved out. It's the fourth podium bump he's caused this year, all from the Goats.
- Billy Goat - Ben Zobrist (-.100). Although he had two intentional walks, the fact that they both came with two out and a runner already in scoring position caused them to not deflect the needle all that much.
- Goat - Dexter Fowler (-.098). Almost had the unfortunate honor of being the only player in the starting lineup -- other than Lackey -- to not reach base, but the pitch that grazed him in the eighth took him off the hook.
- Kid - Javier Baez (-.056). Was one strike away from the Golden Sombrero before his two-run double followed by Owings' Knoblauch-esque throw into the stands.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 53: Lackey and Rizzo climb toward the front of the second pack while Zobrist slips back toward even ground.
