Focus on offense in Atlanta with temperatures in the 90s
Temperatures in Atlanta are expected to be the highest they’ve been all season (mid to upper 90s). While this was already the game to target for offense today due to inferior pitching, the weather only makes it more attractive. Dallas Keuchel (18.7%) and Miles Mikolas (18.5%) have essentially the same strikeout rate with the two west coast pitchers tonight both around 10 points higher. Keuchel (23.9%) has a HR/FB 7.8 points higher than Mikolas, the second highest rate on the board, but he also generates grounders at a 60.1% clip with the other three pitchers below 50%. This should help him better deal with conditions. Statcast numbers are basically the same for Mikolas (87.8 mph aEV, 6.3% Barrels/BBE) and Keuchel (88 mph aEV, 6.9% Barrels/BBE).
Both offenses in this game have implied run lines above four with the Braves topping the board by more than a full half run at 4.83. Both pitchers had a wOBA and xwOBA between .330 and .340 against opposite handed batters this season. While Keuchel dominates lefties (.268 wOBA, .302 xwOBA, 68.8 GB%), Mikolas has been merely average (.307 wOBA, .320 xwOBA) with the platoon advantage.
Your top overall bats today are probably the competing first basemen in this game: Freddie Freeman (158 wRC+, .285 ISO vs RHP) and Paul Goldschmidt (145 wRC+, .313 ISO). Tommy Edman was better from the RH side (155 wRC+, .272 ISO), but is the second highest priced batter in this game on DraftKings, though just $3.1K on FanDuel. Josh Donaldson (134 wRC+, .274 ISO) costs a very reasonable $4.3K on DraftKings. DraftKings makes the dynamic even more difficult, where you have to choose two pitchers and Mikolas costs just $5.5K, allowing players to focus on offense, but this remains a very dangerous spot.
Let's Try This Again
Mikolas just faced the Marlins in Miami and allowed five earned runs on eight hits in five innings. I'm going right back to the well on Mikolas. He has a .256 wOBA at home compared to his .429 wOBA on the road. He has a .87 WHIP at home, but a massive 1.76 WHIP on the road. I'm not a huge fan of home/road splits, but I do think it's worth noting with Mikolas. The projected starters have a .122 ISO with a .318 wOBA and a 21.8% strikeout rate against right-handed pitching this season.
Right-Handed Heavy Offense
He's projected to face six righties tonight. The projected starting lineup has a .119 ISO with a .311 wOBA with a 22.2% strikeout against right-handed pitching this season. The Marlins are last in wOBA, ISO, and wRC+ against righties this season. Mikolas has a .272 wOBA with a .175 ISO against righties. Mikolas has a 1.9% walk rate with a 53.4% ground ball rate and a 11% hard to soft contact ratio against right-handed hitters.
The Ideal Matchup
Miles Mikolas is a better real life pitcher than a DFS pitcher, relying on control and ground balls to righties ahead of strikeouts. As much as I prefer to go for high strikeout pitchers, this matchup is just ideal for Mikolas at a very low salary. He has a 53% ground ball rate with just 1.9% walks against right-handed batters, and this Miami lineup has low power with six righties who have ground ball rates over 50%. He could find some very easy innings here allowing him to pitch deep into the game, and he's priced down to where we don't need a ton of strikeouts to be useful.
Cheap, Viewed Favorably
Miles Mikolas isn't a very good fantasy pitcher. His inability to miss bats (17.8% strikeout rate this season) both caps his upside and lowers his floor. So why am I even considering him in tournaments? His price tag. Mikolas is extremely cheap across the industry and opens salary to spend on bats on a slate where there are a ton of strong hitting spots. Encouragingly, the betting market has viewed Mikolas favorably throughout the day as the Cubs continue to see their implied run total decrease the closer we get to first pitch.
