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 (.348). Fun Fact: He's allowed a total of six runs in his last six starts.
- Hero - Javier Baez (.269). As Al mentioned in his recap, it's the first time that Baez has recorded four hits in the big leagues. He did it eight times in the minors, the last time being August 30, 2015.
- Sidekick - Kris Bryant (.126). Don't you just love that feeling when you hear the ball leave the bat and you instantly know that it's going to go a long, long way?
THE THREE GOATS: The bump meter climbs to 28 on the season, 20 from the Goats, as Lackey's -.128 hitting is moved out.
- Billy Goat - Dexter Fowler (-.211). He's run into a podium funk of his own, with his last four podium appearances all being on the Goat side.
- Goat - Anthony Rizzo (-.083). Am I the only one who thinks that it feels weird to see Rizzo in the middle of the plus/minus chart? After dominating it for the past two years, it's just odd seeing him well behind the pack. It's not bad, mind you... just odd.
- Kid - Albert Almora Jr. (-.054). He did pick up his first major-league hit late in the game, and there are plenty of style points heading his way for that throw of his in the first to nail Odubel Herrera at the plate.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 58: Lackey continues his push toward the front as the starting rotation now holds five of the top six spots on the plus/minus chart.
