T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Phillies -1.5.

I like the Philadelphia Phillies on the runline against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. The Phillies have just 1 loss in their last 5 and 2 of those have been by 2+ runs. Ranger Suarez (6-4, 1.50 ERA) is starting and he has pitched in 36 different games this season, both as a starter and as a reliever. He has only allowed more than 2 runs in 1 of those appearances all year. The Orioles are currently on a 3 game losing streak, losing all of those by 2+ runs. John Means (5-7, 3.41 ERA) is starting for Baltimore and they have not won in his last 8 starts. The Phillies are playing much better right now and they really need to win every game here. Theyit just 3.5 games out of a wildcard spot but they are also just 2 games behind the Braves for the division lead. They have a real chance to make the playoffs here with either route so I like them to turn it on in this game and win by -1.5.

T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Phillies.
