Our Chicago White Sox vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Key Stats: The Pirates are 5-0 in their last 5 interleague road games vs. a right-handed pitcher. Moreover, the Pirates have gone 3-1 in Lake Bachar’s last four starts. Bachar has sported a 2.45 ERA over his last five starts.
Meanwhile, White Sox’s Dave Martin has registered a 7.78 ERA over his last five starts.
What to Expect: The Pirates stifle the White Sox anew. Bachar has been impressive lately, surrendering no more than one run in all his five starts. Bachar and the Pirates bullpen (1.82 ERA over the last five games) should keep the White Sox’s offense in check, holding them under their average runs per game this season (4.8 rpg).
Fearless Forecast: Pirates 5, White Sox 2
Our betting prediction for the Pittsburgh Pirates vs. the Chicago White Sox: The Pirates will win.
