Orioles vs Phillies Prediction & Pick
The Orioles are rolling right now as they have won 13 of their last 16 games overall. They will look to keep the good times going with Kyle Gibson on the mound. Gibson has logged a 4.76 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 21 starts (9-6 record), but has allowed at least 5 earned runs in three of his last six starts.
Gibson is opposed by Taijuan Walker, who has posted a 4.11 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 20 starts (11-4 record). The veteran right-hander has much been better at home than he has been on the road. Walker has posted a 2.76 ERA in nine home starts as opponents are hitting only .178 in that span.
The Phillies have also emerged victorious in seven of Walker's last eight starts, so I am taking the home team on Tuesday. Philadelphia should have Alec Bohm and JT Realmuto back in the lineup after each pro got on base as a pinch-hitter on Monday. That'll make a noticeable difference in a victory.
Final Score Prediction:'Orioles: 4 | Phillies: 5
Orioles vs Phillies Best Bet
Walker has not only been great at keeping runners off the base paths at home, but he has been great at getting them t o swing and miss as well. He has tallied at least 5 strikeouts in eight of his nine home starts in 2023. Baltimore's strikeout percentage against right-handed pitching rises on the road, too. It checks in at 19% at Camden Yards and 24% when away from home. Trust Walker to come through.
