Well, Flaherty turned in less work than Matz did last season with only 36 innings of work, so I wouldn’t say that a post-season berth hinges on his performance in ’23. Neither he nor Matz were a factor last season and the Cardinals managed to win the NLC, so if either one of those two turn in anywhere near 150 IP’ed, I’d say that’s an improvement. In any case, I expect at least two pitchers who aren’t currently projected to be a member of the rotation to combine for close to 30 starts.
