Miles Mikolas delivered a solid performance, allowing two earned runs on seven hits while striking out five over 5 2/3 innings in Friday's 4-2 win over the Mets.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a step in the right direction for Mikolas, whose season has been marred by a high 5.91 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across six starts. The lack of walks in this game is a positive takeaway, as control has been one of his stronger suits, evidenced by his decent 3.57 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Despite the high ERA and WHIP, his FIP stands at a more respectable 4.88, suggesting some bad luck with a .340 BABIP. Fantasy managers should monitor if Mikolas can build on this performance to lower his ERA and become a more reliable option in mixed leagues.
