After last week's bevy of Fastballs, this week it's nice to see a more breaking ball dominant array of pitches. Is Mike Mikolas' nose to toes bender the best of the week? Maybe Luis Severino's sick back-foot Slider? Or maybe the patented front door Two-Seamer of Bartolo Colon is your favorite. Pick one and check back next Saturday to see which pitch carried the week.

Miles Mikolas' Curveball - Mikolas was solid again on Thursday, giving up one run in 6 1/3 innings of work. His 12-6 curve has continued to baffle opponents this season, and Chase Headley was the latest victim.
