FACTS/FLUKES: Flaherty, Alcantara, Schwarber, DeJong, Tapia

Flaherty unable to build off late 2019 dominance ... After posting a 0.93 ERA over his final 16 starts of 2019, big things were expected from Jack Flaherty (RHP, STL) in 2020, but he hasn't been the ace owners were hoping for. He was mysteriously pushed to the back of the rotation when the team returned from their COVID delay, and his first two starts back had pitch counts of just 41 and 64 pitches, respectively. Then, a 9-ER debacle in his most recent outing pushed his ERA from 3.08 all the way to 5.52. How do his skills compare to his previous numbers?
