Zack Greinke, P, Arizona Diamondbacks

Price: $10,300

After a down year, we're getting a serious resurgence out of Zack Greinke in 2017, with a strong 3.04 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) through his first nine starts. He's also fanning batters at the highest rate of his career (28.6%), which has come largely thanks to a 13.2% swinging-strike rate. He has also punched out at least seven hitters in each of his last five starts for an average of 9.2 per game (and 12.3 strikeouts per nine) in that span.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are Monday's third-biggest favorites (-171 money line) and Greinke draws a solid fantasy matchup against the Chicago White Sox, who have the seventh-highest strikeout rate against right-handed pitching this season, which they combine with an 84 wRC+ that ranks only 24th.

Even at the hitter-friendly Chase Field, Chicago's 4.17 implied total is on the lower end of the slate, and Greinke is Monday's top pitching option.
