Jack Flaherty To Start In Game 1 Of NLDS
2 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said the plan is to start right-hander Jack Flaherty in Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Saturday at Dodger Stadium against the division-rival San Diego Padres. Right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto is lined up for Game 2 on Sunday. Flaherty had a bounce-back campaign in 2024 with the Dodgers and Detroit Tigers, finishing with a 13-7 record, 3.17 ERA (3.48 FIP), a 1.07 WHIP and a 194:38 K:BB in 162 innings over 28 starts. He went 6-2 with a 3.58 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 61 K's in 55 1/3 frames over 10 starts for the Dodgers after they acquired him in a trade from Detroit in late July. His 29.9% strikeout rate ranked seventh among all pitchers in 2024. Flaherty faced the Padres just once in his final start on Sept. 25, when he allowed three earned runs in five innings while walking three and fanning five for a no-decision.
