Mikolas (6-7) picked up the win in Monday's 6-1 victory over the Phillies, allowing one run on six hits over 7.1 innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander served up a solo shot to Rhys Hoskins in the first inning but was in full control after that, tossing an efficient 99 pitches (62 strikes) before exiting. Mikolas has delivered six quality starts in his last seven outings, posting a 2.08 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB through 47.2 innings over that impressive stretch, but a lack of consistent run support has left him with a 2-4 record during that time.

Mikolas (5-7) took the loss to Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out four and walking one over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas pitched well in Wednesday's game, throwing 59 of 92 pitches for strikes while picking up four strikeouts and allowing just one walk in the game. He did not get any offensive support though, and he picked up the loss, his seventh of the year. Mikolas did earn a quality start in the outing, his 11th this season. The righty will take a 2.72 ERA into his next outing.

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.

The 33-year-old right-hander has a 2.64 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 69:18 K:BB across 88.2 innings in 14 starts. He's alternated wins and losses over his last five games. He's projected for a favorable home start versus the Cubs this weekend.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas had to settle for his second straight quality start and eighth of the year in 13 starts, and he'll take a 2.62 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 66:16 K:BB through 82.1 innings into his next outing.

Mikolas (4-4) allowed two earned runs on three hits with nine strikeouts and no walks across eight innings to take the loss Thursday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Mikolas allowed both of his earned runs on a home run by Ji-Man Choi in the fourth inning, which stuck him with the tough-luck loss. The strong effort was needed for Mikolas, as he entered the game having allowed 10 earned runs across his last 10.2 frames. Even so, Mikolas still owns a 2.93 ERA with a 60:15 K:BB across 73.2 innings on the campaign.

Mikolas (4-3) allowed four runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out four in five innings, earning the win over the Cubs on Friday.

He's allowed 16 runs (15 earned) over his last 23.1 innings in four starts after starting the year without allowing more than two runs in any of his first seven outings. Overall, he's at a 3.02 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 51:15 K:BB across 65.2 innings. Mikolas is projected for a road start versus the Rays next week.

He has a 2.67 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 47:12 K:BB in 60.2 innings. He's projected to make a road start against the Cubs next week.
