Miley (12-7) allowed six runs on nine hits and a walk over three innings Sunday, striking out two and taking a loss against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Miley served up home runs to Will Smith and Gavin Lux in the second inning and was taken deep for a third time the following inning by Corey Seager. He's given up seven homers in just 18.1 innings over his last four outings. The veteran righty's ERA has gone up from 2.74 to 3.37 during that span. Miley is lined up to face the Nationals at home next week.

Miley (12-6) was charged with the loss Tuesday against the Pirates after surrendering six runs (five earned) on 10 hits and a pair of walks while striking out one across 4.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
While he's piecing together what once looked to be a borderline Cy Young season, Miley fell further down the ranks Tuesday. The left-hander just wasn't as sharp this time, letting the Pirates get to him early with a three-run first inning. Miley held things in check until the fifth, when he was lit up for another three runs en route to the loss. It was the second time this season the 34-year-old allowed six or more runs, and his second unfavorable outing over his last three starts. He'll have his work cut out for him during his next projected start Sunday against the Dodgers.

Miley (12-5) earned the win over the Cubs on Tuesday after firing seven innings of one-run ball. He gave up five hits and fanned eight without issuing a walk.
EDGE Analysis
After St. Louis knocked Miley around for five runs on 12 hits over four innings his last time out, he responded Tuesday with one of his most dominant outings of the season. He tied a season high with the eight strikeouts, a number fueled by 21 swingings strikes on his 101 pitches. Miley is now down to a 2.89 ERA over 25 starts this season -- he had a slightly better mark with Milwaukee in 2018, but that was over just 16 starts. The southpaw projects for a road outing in Pittsburgh early next week.

Miley (11-5) took the loss in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, giving up five runs on 12 hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over four innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The 12 hits and three homers were both season-worst performances for the 34-year-old, while the outing was Miley's shortest since he lasted only three innings at Coors Field on May 14. Despite the stumble, he still sports a 2.97 ERA on the year with a 114:47 K:BB through 148.2 innings.

Miley (11-4) picked up the win Friday, allowing six hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings in a 6-0 victory over the Marlins. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
It's the third time in his last five starts the veteran southpaw has delivered seven shutout innings, and he hasn't been stuck with a losing decision since May 19. Miley is putting together arguably the best season of his career at 34 years old, and he'll take a 2.74 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 112:46 K:BB through 144.2 innings into his next outing.

Miley allowed two runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts through 4.2 innings, taking a no-decision in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Miley cruised through his first four innings of work Saturday but ran into command issues in the fifth that ultimately cost him a chance to go deeper into the game. With two on and two out, Miley walked Miguel Rojas to load the bases. He then hit Jazz Chisholm to plate a run and followed that up by issuing a free pass to Jesus Aguilar on five pitches to score another. With the bases still loaded, manager David Bell opted to go to the bullpen. After an injury-plagued 2020 and a heavy workload in 2021, the 34-year-old's command has started to slip. In his last nine starts (56 innings), the southpaw has walked 23 batters. He walked just 22 opposing hitters in his first 14 starts (81.2 innings) of the season.

Miley (10-4) allowed four hits and a walk while striking out seven in seven scoreless innings to earn the win Monday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Miley was hit hard in his last outing, as he allowed five runs in five innings against Atlanta. However, he bounced back with a strong showing against Chicago's faltering offense to earn his second win in his last three appearances. The southpaw's production has remained relatively consistent since the All-Star break, and he's posted a 2.95 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 36.2 innings across his last six starts. He tentatively lines up to make his next appearance at home against the Marlins on Saturday.

Miley completed five innings against Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four.
EDGE Analysis
Miley clearly didn't have his best stuff in the contest, as he tossed only 45 of 77 pitches for strikes and surrendered five runs for only the second time this season. The left-handed hurler was able to avoid a loss, however, when the Reds mounted a comeback that sent the game into extra innings. Miley has struggled with walks of late, giving up 18 free passes over his past six starts covering 37.2 frames, but he has still managed to put up a strong 2.87 ERA while going 3-0 over that span. He'll likely make his next start at home against the Cubs early next week.

Miley (9-4) picked up the win in Friday's 10-0 rout of the Pirates, allowing six hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran southpaw got staked to a 7-0 lead after one inning, but Miley made sure Pittsburgh wouldn't get up off the mat. He hasn't lost a game since May 19, and Friday's quality start was his fifth in six outings since the beginning of July, a stretch during which he's posted a 2.06 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB through 39.1 innings.

Miley allowed three runs on four hits and three walks with a pair of strikeouts over seven innings against the Mets on Saturday. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Miley departed with a 4-3 lead -- Javier Baez had hit his first homer as a Met in the sixth to make it a one-run game -- but the Cincinnati bullpen couldn't hang on to deliver the 34-year-old his ninth win over the year. Still, it was the fourth quality start in five July appearances for Miley, who keeps finding ways to be effective for both the Reds and fantasy managers. Miley is 8-4 on the year with a 2.92 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with an 88:36 K:BB in 114 innings, and he's tentatively lined up for a favorable home matchup with the Pirates in his next scheduled start.
