Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Jack Flaherty, who owns a 7.04 ERA through three postseason outings this month, will start Game 1 of the World Series against the visiting New York Yankees on Friday.
He will match up against Yankees ace Gerrit Cole — both of them former Los Angeles-area high school stars.
The Dodgers will go with right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 2 on Saturday. According to manager Dave Roberts, right-hander Walker Buehler also will draw a start for Los Angeles, in either Game 3 or Game 4 at New York, with the other of those two contests becoming a bullpen game for the Dodgers.
