Baltimore Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles will have Dean Kremer pitching in their upcoming game, following a decent performance in his last outing where he yielded three runs in five innings. Kremer has had some inconsistency in his recent performances, with a 4.27 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP in 126.1 innings of work this season. The Orioles have been trading away veterans for young prospects and have shown promise with their young talent. They have had mixed results in recent matchups, winning three of four home games against the Blue Jays but dropping two of three road games against the Cubs. Jackson Holliday has had an inconsistent month but has the potential to be a star, while Coby Mayo and Ryan Mountcastle are expected to see increased playing time. The team's offense is averaging 4.37 runs per game, ranking them 15th, while their pitching staff has a 4.80 ERA, placing them 26th.

Philadelphia Phillies

On Wednesday evening, Taijuan Walker will take the mound for the Philadelphia Phillies. In his previous outing, Walker gave up two runs in five innings against the White Sox, ultimately resulting in a no-decision for him in a game that the Phillies lost. Despite this, Walker has been consistent, boasting a 3.80 ERA last month and a 3.82 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 3-5 record in 73 innings this year. Throughout his career, Walker has had success against the Orioles, with a 2.77 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 4-2 record in 55.1 innings.

The Phillies are currently just 0.5 games ahead of the Mets as they aim for first place. After a disappointing series against the White Sox, they bounced back to win a home series against Detroit over the weekend. The team has a strong 35-20 record at home.

Kyle Schwarber has been performing well recently with two homers and four RBIs in his past five games. He has had a standout season with 38 home runs, 88 RBIs, and a .957 OPS. On the other hand, Nick Castellanos has struggled, producing only a .598 OPS last month, with 60 RBIs and a .745 OPS on the season. Trea Turner has also had a rough patch with three RBIs in his past 10 games, totaling 45 RBIs and a .756 OPS for the season. J.T. Realmuto has managed five RBIs in his last 10 games, with a total of 39 RBIs this season.

Overall, the Phillies are averaging 4.65 runs per game, ranking them ninth in the league, while their pitching staff has been solid with a 3.79 ERA, placing them 10th.

Baltimore Orioles Excel While Philadelphia Phillies Struggle on the Mound

The recent performance of the Baltimore Orioles has been notable, demonstrating strength against strong teams such as the Blue Jays with a three out of four win record last week. Even in defeats, the Orioles have shown competitiveness, with three out of their last four losses being by a margin of only one run. On the other hand, the Philadelphia Phillies have had a relatively average record of 5-5 in their last ten games. Orioles pitcher Dean Kremer has proven to be a consistent asset, limiting opponents to three or fewer runs in the majority of his recent outings. In contrast, Phillies pitcher Taijuan Walker has faced challenges, yielding seven home runs in his last three starts. Consequently, the Phillies' performance with Walker on the mound has been subpar, resulting in a 2-3 record in his past five appearances.
