Miles Mikolas clinches win despite mediocre outing

Miles Mikolas earned a win, allowing three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings in Friday's 6-3 victory over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, while not particularly dominant, was sufficient to secure his 10th win of the season, thanks to robust run support from the Cardinals' lineup. Mikolas's season has been marked by inconsistency, as evidenced by his elevated 5.35 ERA and modest 6.4 K/9 rate. His ability to limit walks, reflected in a 4.88 strikeout-to-walk ratio, remains a small silver lining. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his high ERA and FIP suggest potential struggles ahead, making him a risky play in all but the most favorable matchups.
