Mikolas has permitted more than 10 hits per nine innings two years in a row. No one in baseball has surrendered more base knocks over that time and only Patrick Corbin (5.41 ERA) has a worse ERA among qualifiers than Mikolas' 5.04 mark. The right-hander doesn't even induce ground balls at an above-average clip anymore, as he has just a 40.3 percent ground ball rate over the last two seasons after producing a 47.4 percent rate in his first four years with the Cardinals. Mikolas has made at least 32 starts three years running and is set to make $18.5 million in 2025 in his final year under contract, so he's a good bet to open the year in the St. Louis rotation. He doesn't bring much of anything to the table for fantasy, however. Read Past Outlooks
