Cincinnati Reds outfielder Will Benson will start in right field and bat ninth in Monday's series opener against left-hander Cristopher Sanchez and the Philadelphia Phillies.
Benson will drop to ninth against a lefty for the second time through four games. In his first matchup against a southpaw this season, Benson went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run scored, and a strikeout. Stuart Fairchild will start in center field and hit seventh and Spencer Steer will man left field and bat second. Jake Fraley is not in the lineup on Monday.
numberFire's models project Benson for 10.0 FanDuel points on Monday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Reds' implied total (3.72) is No. 22 in the majors today.
