SCOUT ANALYST JOHN BOLLMAN'S TAKE

Zack Greinke was removed late from yesterday’s game with a tight abdominal. Since his rough opening day start, he has gone 6-0 with a 1.92 ERA. Greinke hasn’t been ruled out of making his next start and it is not known who would take his spot in the rotation if he were to go on the IL.

WEEKLY FANTASY VALUE

When compared to other starting pitchers in week 10, Justin Verlander (7.5 FP), Carlos Carrasco (5.3 FP), Stephen Strasburg (4.5 FP), Chris Sale (4.3 FP), and Trevor Bauer (5.2 FP) are all projected for fewer points than Greinke but are starting in more leagues. Starting in 85% of leagues he is expected to produce 5.4 fantasy points (WK 10). It should be a very good week 10 as he is projected to be the #3 starting pitcher. Even though his per game projected FP average is not better than normal, he will benefit from playing a projected 2 games.

He is projected for 9.9 fantasy points in week 10 (#3 SP) in 4 games.

REST OF SEASON VALUE

His latest projection based rank among starting pitchers is #8. Ranking by ownership percentage (98%), Zack Greinke is expected to be the #14 starting pitcher for the rest of the season. Our projections indicate that Zack Greinke is underrated by the market. Even if he is owned in plenty of leagues, he is still undervalued and if you act quickly there is a clear buy low opportunity. Unless someone offers an even better starting pitcher value, we advise you to hold on to him. Of the 16 98% owned starting pitchers, he is ranked #7. He is projected for 112 fantasy points in 21 remaining games. He has a lower rank (#11) based on projected fantasy average. The market ranks Zack Greinke behind Berrios and above Buehler but the projections rank these players in reverse order.

He is projected for more wins as than you would expect based on his save percentage rank.
