John Means is the Orioles' lone decent starter. Ranger Suarez has been fantastic for the Phillies with a 1.50 ERA and 1.04 WHIP.
But opening an Orioles-Phillies game at less than 8 1/2 runs is a mistake no matter who the starting pitchers are.
The Orioles are the worst defensive team in the league with perhaps the worst bullpen, too. The Phillies' relief pitching is very vulnerable, too.
The Phillies have an above average offense. They are averaging 6.8 runs in their last five games.
The Orioles rank 14th in homers. They have four players with 21 or more homers. So they have some sock.
Playing at hitter-friendly Citzens Bank Park is another plus for the Over.
