Flaherty has been lights out and over his last 10 starts, he has had 6 of them in which he has allowed 0 earned and 2 of them he has allowed 1 earned run. Note, that he is 7-2 with a 0.91 ERA since the all star break and 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA vs Braves in 2 starts this year. Folty has been great since returning from AAA and lastly these 2 teams combined for 23 hits last night plus they scored 9 runs in the last 2 innings. Look for more pitching and defense in this one this evening and game 2 to stay UNDER THE TOTAL.
