Not if it would violate the state law and open it up to being reviewed.

It would be a lot of effort for a tiny potential gain and undercuts the argument that gerrymandering is bad and general feelings that the parties are the same if both are willing to do the same things. But also given it's already 6-1, and the Senate vote in Maryland was 55/43, seems like we already gerrymandered the state pretty significantly. I'm really not interested in being the same as the Republicans and trying to entirely shut out the other party. It just leads to an ever increasing cycle. We filibustered their judicial nominees, they filibustered ours, so we took out the filibuster for judges below the Supreme Court, then they took the filibuster for those nominees. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
