Philadelphia Phillies vs. Baltimore Orioles Game Pick

• Philadelphia Phillies

Philadelphia has the clear advantage on the mound with Zack Wheeler, who owns a 2.53 ERA, a 0.92 WHIP, and 123 strikeouts in 103 innings. The Phillies have struggled recently, but they have enough offensive production from Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, and Trea Turner to respond after dropping the series opener. Wheeler has consistently limited opposing hitters throughout the season, making Philadelphia the stronger play to win in this interleague matchup at Camden Yards.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Baltimore Orioles Over/Under Pick

• Under

Both starting pitchers have been productive this season, with Zack Wheeler carrying one of the best ERAs in baseball and Kyle Bradish providing Baltimore with consistent innings. Philadelphia has scored four runs or fewer in each of its last four losses, while both pitching staffs have shown the ability to keep games competitive. With two experienced starters on the mound and both offenses entering with inconsistent recent production, this matchup will cash below the total.
