Fantasy Impact

This outing was a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers, especially considering Mikolas's rocky 5.54 ERA and 1.32 WHIP entering the game. His ability to avoid walks and limit damage suggests there might be some underlying skills not fully reflected in his ERA. While the low strikeout rate (6.72 K/9) continues to cap his upside, performances like this one demonstrate his potential value in deeper leagues or as a streaming option in favorable matchups.

Miles Mikolas allowed three earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

This performance did little to alleviate concerns about Mikolas's rocky season, as his ERA nudged up to 5.54 through 12 starts. Despite a decent WHIP of 1.32 and a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.57, his high ERA and FIP of 4.46 suggest that he's been both unlucky and prone to mistakes. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying too heavily on him, considering his inconsistency and the lack of dominant strikeout numbers (6.9 K/9). Mikolas remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, especially against high-scoring teams.

Miles Mikolas allowed three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not factoring into the decision, Mikolas's performance was a mixed bag, showing some ability to miss bats but also giving up crucial runs that kept the Cubs in contention. His season ERA now sits uncomfortably at 5.64, with a WHIP of 1.36, indicating ongoing struggles in controlling the game. Fantasy managers should be wary; while the strikeouts and innings are serviceable, his high ERA and WHIP are damaging. Mikolas remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, particularly in shallower leagues or those sensitive to ERA and WHIP impacts.

The originally scheduled contest will be part of a split doubleheader beginning on July 13.

Miles Mikolas delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a breath of fresh air for Mikolas, whose season has been marred by a bloated 5.77 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP across 10 starts. His performance against the Red Sox showed signs of potential stabilization, especially considering his ability to limit hits and runs in this outing. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious; while this game moves the needle in the right direction, Mikolas's high ERA and WHIP still reflect underlying volatility. His moderate strikeout rate of 6.6 K/9 doesn't promise much upside in that category, making him a risky play in most fantasy formats.
