EDGE Analysis

Mikolas has now strung together four consecutive quality starts dating back to June 9, giving up only five earned runs over 29 innings of work during the stretch. He dominated the Cubs with a vicious 12-6 curveball and racked up nine strikeouts to match a season high. The 33-year-old veteran has a 14.5% K-BB%, which matches his season-long total from 2018, when he was an All-Star before missing significant time due to injury. He is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Friday at Philadelphia.
