Avoid 495 during those same hours except 495 starts to become a bitch around 3 PM. It also sucks around lunch time. It really just sucks.
Really consider taking 301. Yeah it is longer time (about same mileage) but bad traffic on 50, 495, 95, the mixing bowl or anywhere else will really fuck with your time.
If 70 is an option for getting West from the Bay Bridge take 50W to 97N to 695W to 70W. Just avoid during usual rush hours but Baltimore is nowhere near as bad as DC.

Thanks so much for the information. I have been sitting here staring at the map and it resembles a plate of spaghetti from olive garden....looks like a busy mess.
Taking 70 would be an option and might be a smarter route. Even if it's longer mileage, we come out better VS if we are sitting in stop and go traffic our mileage will plummet to about 2-4 miles per gallon. If we are rolling at speed limit, then we will be getting 7-9 miles per gallon.
I have read horror stories of people waiting for hours in some spots or it takes you hours to move a small distance. This is something I definitely need to avoid.
