Greinke’s ERA since June 1 is 3.97, not 4 plus (yeah, I know, close to 4 plus). Not great, but not exactly horrible either. Looks like normal expected regression to me, so now his numbers begin to approximate something more human. And yeah, his peripherals continue to be great, so he looks like he could keep it up.

How can you not mention Greinke’s 4 plus ERA since the calendar turned to June? Are his peripherals that good to overlook this?

I wouldn’t be so sure. Greinke has done this despite a .321 BABIP. His fastball is almost Lincecum’s equal and his secondary pitches are much better.

As great as Greinke is, if I had to put my money on only one of them breaking the barrier, I’d feel more comfortable betting on Lincecum.
