Pick

The Orioles come into this game as one of the best road teams in the MLB and they continue to increase their lead in the AL East. Philadelphia has struggled recently and they are now third in the NL East. The Phillies are starting Taijuan Walker, who has allowed four earned runs in two of his last three starts. The Orioles are starting Kyle Gibson, who has allowed 3, 5, 2, 4, and 6 earned runs in his last five starts. Gibson has allowed quite a few runs recently, which should benefit a struggling Phillies offense. Take Philadelphia to get the win here.
