Orioles vs. Phillies: Game 3 prediction, odds, injuries, and picks

The Philadelphia Phillies will aim to secure the series when they host the struggling Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies (65-48) continue to flex their dominance at home, where they’ve gone 37-20, powered by a top-10 team ERA and a deep lineup.

Meanwhile, the Orioles (51-63) are searching for answers, entering the contest on a three-game road losing streak while relying on emerging ace Trevor Rogers to halt the skid. With Ranger Suarez countering on the mound, expect a tightly contested pitchers’ duel in this interleague finale.

Starting Pitchers

Trevor Rogers (Orioles - LHP):

Rogers has been nothing short of dominant this season, carrying a 1.44 ERA and an absurdly low 0.75 WHIP across 56.1 innings. Even in his latest outing, a tough-luck 1-0 loss, he recorded eight strikeouts and no walks over eight frames. His command has been elite, and if Baltimore’s offense can offer run support, Rogers can shut down even the hottest lineups.

Ranger Suarez (Phillies - LHP):

Suarez remains a rock in Philadelphia’s rotation, sporting a 2.68 ERA through 100.2 innings. His latest start against Detroit showcased his efficiency, seven innings of three-run ball with no walks. Suarez’s pinpoint control and soft-contact inducing arsenal make him a perfect fit against an Orioles lineup that struggles against left-handed finesse pitchers.

Hot Hitters to Watch

Kyle Schwarber (Philadelphia Phillies):

Schwarber continues to be the engine of Philadelphia’s power surge, belting his 40th homer of the season to solidify his place among the NL’s top sluggers. With 94 RBIs and a .258 batting average, Schwarber’s presence in the heart of the lineup is a constant threat, especially in a hitter-friendly ballpark like Citizens Bank Park.

Jordan Westburg (Baltimore Orioles):

Westburg has quietly emerged as a consistent contributor for Baltimore, batting .277 with 13 homers and 28 RBIs in a breakout season. His recent form, 16 hits in his last 43 at-bats, makes him a key piece in the Orioles’ lineup shuffle. Westburg will be vital in sparking an offense looking to crack Ranger Suarez’s rhythm.
