Mikolas 6 ERA in 2 games against the Brewers, 1.28 in 2 games against the Reds.

His contact percentage of 82.4% is 12 worst in the majors and that is with people swinging at 39% of pitches outside the zone.  My guess is that as the league catches up to him they are going to make him come into the zone more and his zone contact percentage of 92.5% will catch up to him.  Only Felix, Godley, Blach and Chacin have higher zone contact percentages. 

Of those 4 pitches on Godley is really doing well.  He is also the only one of the group.  Godley's outside zone contact percentage is 37.9%.  The rest of them have an outside zone contact percentage of 59.7%-73.7%.  Mikolas has a 68%.
