Baltimore Orioles vs. Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
I’m on the under here. In a lefty-lefty matchup between two teams that have struggled against lefties this season, I don’t envision a ton of runs being scored in this game. The Phillies are coming off of a Sunday night game as well which doesn’t help their cause, and the Orioles are just a team I haven’t really been fond of considering that they can never get their feet back underneath themselves after a slow start to the year. Give me the under in this one.
