MLB action gets underway early today with a 12:35 p.m. ET first pitch from Citizens Bank Park as the Philadelphia Phillies welcome the Baltimore Orioles. My Orioles vs. Phillies prediction digs into whether the home side can complete a three-game sweep.

Philadelphia, receiving the second-shortest World Series odds, is a -150 moneyline betting favorite at our best sports betting sites. I think that it could be a big day for one of the Phillies' best sluggers, which I break down in my Orioles vs. Phillies best bet.

Philadelphia has been one of the worst teams in the National League against left-handed starting pitchers, but its success in home games has me backing it as a confident Orioles vs. Phillies prediction. 

The Phillies bring a 13-19 record against southpaws into this matchup against Trevor Rogers, who has pitched to a 1.44 ERA in limited action. But Philadelphia has gotten great production lately from across its lineup, which is a big reason for this Orioles vs. Phillies best bet.

We will touch on Kyle Schwarber more in our player props section, but fellow teammate Bryce Harper entered yesterday with seven home runs and 13 RBIs in 16 games since the All-Star break. 

Harper was batting .333 with 12 doubles and eight home runs in his previous 20 games, and even the newly acquired Harrison Bader snapped an 18-game home run drought in the series-opening win.

But yesterday’s 5-0 victory was keyed by the bottom of the lineup, as Philadelphia’s 6-through-9 hitters were responsible for six of the team’s 10 hits and all five RBIs.

The Phillies have won Ranger Suarez’s last two starts against teams currently holding playoff spots in the AL (the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees), so the odds, implying a 60% chance of winning, are justified.

BetMGM is one of the only best sports betting apps you can back Philadelphia at better than -154 odds.

Schwarber exploded with two home runs and six RBIs in Monday’s series opener and entered yesterday's game with 15 home runs and 37 RBIs over the previous 27 games, both MLB-bests in that span. 

Schwarber has now shot up the National League MVP odds leaderboard, ranking in the top four in the league in home runs, RBI, OPS, hard-hit rate, barrels, xSLG, and xwOBA. His success against left-handed pitching has us backing him with our best Orioles vs. Phillies player props.

From 2015-2023 against southpaws, Schwarber slashed .204/.320/.382 with an 83 wRC+ and a 32.6% strikeout rate.

However, over the last two seasons before yesterday in that split, he was slashing .289/.400/.558 with a 26.5% strikeout rate and a 166 wRC+ (the second-best among all left-handed hitters with a minimum of 100 PA).

I was tempted to take what seems like free money with the Over on his 0.5 total bases at bet365 (juiced to -155).

But I am taking more of a flier on one of the hottest hitters, and am expecting him to add to his MLB lead in RBIs today. A $10 winning wager at DraftKings would net $15.50 in profits.

❓MLB betting FAQs

How do betting odds work?

Betting odds represent the probability of a specific outcome and determine how much money you can win on a bet. There are three main formats: American odds, Decimal odds, and Fractional odds. In the U.S., American odds are most common. 

What is the run line in baseball?

The run line in baseball is a form of point spread betting unique to MLB. It typically sets a standard spread of 1.5 runs, meaning the favored team must win by at least two runs to cover the run line, while the underdog can lose by one run or win outright to cover.

What does moneyline mean in betting?

The moneyline in betting refers to a wager on which team or player will win the game outright, with no point spread involved. It’s the most straightforward type of sports bet - just pick the winner.
