Jack Flaherty To Start Game 1 Of World Series Against Yankees
1 month agoLos Angeles Dodgers right-hander Jack Flaherty will get the nod to start Game 1 of the World Series on Friday at Dodger Stadium against the New York Yankees. Flaherty will be on a full six days of rest to kick off the World Series against Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole. The 29-year-old has been hit or miss in his three postseason starts for LA this year, tossing seven shutout innings with six strikeouts in the Game 1 win over the New York Mets in the National League Championship Series. But in his other two starts, he surrendered 12 earned runs on 13 hits (three homers) while walking five and striking out only two in 8 1/3 innings against the Padres and Mets. Flaherty did not face the Dodgers during the regular season and will be hoping to miss more bats against New York's potent lineup of sluggers. He'll be a high-risk, high-reward DFS play on Friday.
