Phillies vs Orioles Prediction
The Phillies are 5-3 in their last 8 meetings against the Orioles but have lost their last two visits in Baltimore.
In this Phillies vs Orioles Prediction, the Orioles are coming as -125 home favorites. I like the Orioles at home with Brandon Young who has given up just one run in his last two starts and has been excellent at home with a 2.85 ERA. The Orioles have both a better offense and their bullpen has been excellent after the break and will be facing a struggling Phillies team that is just 1-7 in its last 8 games and was swept by the Marlins in its previous series. Take the Orioles in this one at home.
