From Rotoworld: O’Grady surrendered three earned runs over five innings Sunday in a loss to the Dodgers. O’Grady struck out six, but he walked two and gave up five hits — including a solo homer to Justin Turner in the top of the first inning. The 27-year-old left-hander has a 5.23 ERA through his first two major league starts.
Stephenson will be recalled to start Saturday against the Marlins. He’s taking Scott Feldman’s (knee) spot in the rotation. Stephenson really struggled earlier this season for the Reds, but he’s pitched well at Triple-A Louisville with a 3.79 ERA and 45/13 K/BB ratio over 40 1/3 innings. The righty boasts a 34/3 K/BB ratio across 27 1/3 frames covering his last five starts.
Bet Today’s Marlins vs. Reds Game
OUR PREDICTION: The Reds have dropped seven of eight overall, eight of nine at home, and are winless at 0-4 in Stephenson’s last four starts. Conversely, the Marlins have won four straight on the road, are 5-1 in their last six road games when facing a team that starts a right-hander, and are 7-3 in their last 10 games against the Reds following last night’s win.
