The Pittsburgh Pirates and the Chicago White Sox look to open the second half of the season on strong note as they clash in a three-game weekend series starting on Friday at PNC Park.
The Pirates edged the Minnesota Twins 2-1 to snap an eight-game losing streak and finish the first half of the season with a 39-58 record. In their last five games, Pittsburgh has struggled to produce solid numbers behind the plate and on the mound, pitching a 4.79 ERA and averaging 2.6 runs per game on a .224 batting average.
Similar to the Pirates, the White Sox will begin the second half of the season as the worst team in their division. Chicago are 32-65 in their division, trailing the No.4 team in the AL Central, the 46-49 Cleveland Guardians, by 13 games. The White Sox have posted a respectable 3.68 ERA in their last five games, but their atrocious .176 batting average with 3.1 runs per game over the stretch has prevented Chicago from winning close games.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
Why should you bet on the White Sox to win? The Pirates may have won the last four meetings with the White Sox,x but the streak could end on Friday as they face a formidable starting pitcher from the opposition. Chicago won in each of Cannon’s last three starts, including a 5-4 win over the Guardians a week ago. Cannon will be pitching against the Pirates for the first time, and yet I feel confident he will do well against one of the worst offensive teams in the MLB this season. The Pirates have tapped a struggling Bailey Falter to start on Friday. Falter has given up a total of six earned runs in his last two starts, which raises concerns about his ability to bounce back with strong numbers in this upcoming start vs. the White Sox.
Our betting prediction for the Chicago White Sox vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates: the White Sox will win.
