Nick Lodolo will start Monday for the Reds. He is 2-3 with a 5.81 ERA this season. He has had a season to forget so far, but he'll be pitching against an abysmal Marlins lineup. Last start, Lodolo tossed two innings, allowing five hits and five earned runs while striking out five. The Marlins are averaging just 2.1 runs per game in their last seven, so is a good opportunity for Lodolo to bounce back.
Trevor Rogers will start Monday for the visitors. He is 4-9 with a 5.46 ERA this year. He has had a terrible campaign after an excellent 2021, and he'll be pitching against a decent Reds lineup. In his last outing, Rogers tossed six innings, giving up seven hits and four earned runs, while he K'd four.
The Marlins' lefty has been better comparatively away from home this season, sporting a 3.95 road ERA. The bad news for Miami is that he'll be up against a hot lineup in a park that's a nightmare for pitchers.
