Zack Greinke pitched another gem over the Angels Friday night. He went eight innings and allowed two earned runs on five hits, walked one, and struck out eight. 68-of-108 pitches were thrown for strikes.
Fantasy Impact
2015 Greinke eerily reminds me of 1988 Orel. They both had ridiculous scoreless-inning streaks, struck out a tad under a batter-per-inning, and both had ERAs almost a full run under their FIPs. Earlier in the year, I thought Greinke's ERA would regress, but he's in such a zone that a 1988 Orel-esque season may be in the works. Too bad his win total and complete game shutouts weren't on Orel's level, then Greinke would be the No.1 fantasy pitcher without a doubt.
