Plus, Greinke has the huge advantage of pitching at Dodger Stadium which deflates his ERA. This is really seen in the discrepancy between his home and road ERAs. Arrieta also has been MUCH MUCH better in ALL of these categories for the past 1-2 months. Arrieta has been much more consistent at being a top pitcher across the board while Greinke has been inferior.
Jake Arrieta is the best pitcher in baseball right now.
