Look closer, the numbers when you choose to itemize are not in your favor (smaller refund from state and larger payment to IRS)

From the Maryland tax web site: https://taxes.marylandtaxes.gov/Individual_Taxes/General_Information/What_s_New_for_the_Tax_Filing_Season.shtml
Should I take the standard deduction or itemize? - The federal tax reform of 2017 significantly raised the federal standard deduction. Under current Maryland law, if you take the standard deduction the federal level, you cannot itemize at the Maryland level. You may take the federal standard deduction, while this may reduce your federal tax liability, it may result in an increase to your Maryland income tax liability. The Comptroller’s Office encourages you to run your income tax returns under both deduction methods, and to compare the results of taking the standard deduction versus itemizing yours deductions, to see which method causes the lowest overall tax liability.

According to Maryland State Law, the Maryland standard deduction is $2,500, and you may not itemize in Maryland if you choose the standard deduction on your federal return.
Therefore, choosing to itemize will increase your federal AGI slightly (and therefore your federal tax burden), but will reduce your Maryland AGI by potentially up to $20,000. That would explain the significant difference in results you see.
