The stache

Yelich entered the day with a 6.4 WAR according to Baseball-Reference.com, and that's not updated for tonight, when he went 2 for 5 with a triple, home run, and 6 RBI. He'll be at a 6.5-6.6 tonight, with 4-5 games left. A few good games, and he'll push close to 7. 110 runs scored, 181 hits, 34 doubles, 7 triples, 33 home runs, 104 RBI, 21 SB, .321 AVG, slash of .390/.583/.973 157 OPS + that's hardly average from a #2 hitter in the lineup. Driving in 100 + from the two slot is nuts. He has 327 total bases, one behind Baez. And hitting is down this year. Only 7 guys in the entire National League at over .300.

Yelich has gone absolutely bonkers the last eight games. 17 for 33 (.515 AVG), 5 runs, 4 doubles, 2 triples, 2 home runs, 10 RBI. .529 OBP/.939 SLG/1.469 OPS.
