Phillies vs. Orioles Probable Pitchers

- Orioles: Brandon Young (8-2, 3.13 ERA)
The Phillies are expected to recall Andrew Painter to start tonight. He allowed 17 runs in 11.2 innings in his three starts in June before being sent down. The former top prospect then went 1-2 with a 4.56 ERA in five starts in Triple-A.
Brandon Young has allowed a single run in each of his last two starts, and he went into the break allowing three runs in seven innings. He’s been as great as his numbers suggest this season.

Phillies vs. Orioles Best MLB Prop Bets
Orioles Best MLB Prop Bet
- Brandon Young OVER 4.5 Strikeouts (-144)
Brandon Young has been getting to at least five strikeouts with regularity as of late. He’s done so in six straight starts, including seven and six punchouts in his two outings since the All-Star break.
The Phillies are in a slump, and they’re one of the worst strikeout lineups in the league this season. I’ll back Young to get to at least five strikeouts again tonight at home.
Phillies vs. Orioles Prediction and Pick
I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:
The Orioles just took two of three in Detroit while the Phillies got swept in Miami. Neither team has been too consistent since the All-Star break, but Baltimore has a slight edge tonight.
Brandon Young has allowed one run in each of his last two starts, and yielded three runs in seven innings in his previous outing. He has a 2.85 ERA at home as compared to a 3.48 ERA on the road this season.
The Phillies recalled Andrew Painter to start tonight. He’s coming off a solid start in Triple-A, but is 1-8 with a 7.06 ERA in the majors this season.
Pick: Orioles -114
