The Mets face a stiff challenge in Game 5 of the NLDS. Zack Greinke is a legitimate candidate for the 2015 NL Cy Young, having an even better season than the more heralded Clayton Kershaw. His success comes from consistently throwing strikes, pitching inside and keeping the ball down. He gives up very few home runs, and while not considered a strikeout pitcher, he gets almost nine strikeouts per inning.
Greinke has always been a very good pitcher, but he has gone to a different level this year.
