Cincinnati looks for the sweep, but they trot out rookie righty Robert Stephenson, making his major league debut. Stephenson posted a 9.58 ERA this spring, giving up 12 hits and seven walks in 10 1/3 innings. The Reds are on an 8-23 run at home and 10-23 following a win. They face a Philadelphia team where the starters have given up one earned run in 13 innings. The Phillies unveil veteran righty Charlie Morton, who has a 4-2 record and a 3.83 ERA at Great American Ballpark against the Reds. The Reds are favored but on a 15-36 run going back to last season, so grab the very live dog with the reliable arm on the hill. Play Philadelphia.
