LOS ANGELES -- Jack Flaherty will start for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series opener against the New York Yankees.
The right-hander opposes Gerrit Cole on Friday night at Dodger Stadium in a matchup of area natives.
Flaherty is from nearby Burbank and attended high school at Harvard-Westlake in Los Angeles. Cole is from Tustin in Orange County and pitched at UCLA.
"Obviously, Jack's been really good for us," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday on a Zoom call with media. "The experience, the way to navigate an outing, he's seen it all."
