FACTS/FLUKES: Greinke, Kemp, Duda, Nelson, Forsythe

Greinke regains prior form … Zack Greinke (RHP, ARI) was highly unlikely to duplicate his luck-driven 2015 campaign (1.66 ERA), but expected regression combined with injuries and some skill deterioration to produce an unsightly 4.37 ERA in 2016. Those who took advantage of the discounted price tag in 2017 have been rewarded with a 3.20 ERA and boatloads of strikeouts. Is Greinke truly back?
