Notes On The Chicago White Sox

The Chicago White Sox are doing well in the AL Central. The other teams are 10 games behind them. But they can’t be happy. They’ve lost six of their last 11 games.

The White Sox beat the Chicago Cubs 13-1. They played three games at home and won all of them. The White Sox scored a lot of points, but they did not score any points in one of the games.

Lucas Giolito will be pitching Tuesday. He is 27 and has a 3.68 ERA which is good. He is 9-9 but in the second half of this season he has pitched well, with a 2.70 ERA in his past eight games.Lucas met the Bucs in June and threw 6 good pitches. The game was 6-3, but Lucas did not win.

Notes On The Pittsburgh Pirates

This weekend, the Pittsburgh Pirates won a game at home. They have been playing well lately and have been winning six of their last ten games.

The Pirates are the worst team in the National League and they aren’t doing well. They have a low-scoring offense and their batting average is low.

Bryse Wilson will start on Tuesday. He is 23 and has been with the Bucs since July. He is 2-5 this season with a 4.35 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 11 starts so far this year.In his last four games with the Pirates, Wilson has gone 0-2 and has had an ERA of 3.6. He’s pitched 20 innings in this time. Bryse has never played against the Chicago White Sox before.

Online Sports Betting Pick & Prediction: Chicago White Sox -1.5 -120

The White Sox hope to have a good game. They have been hitting the ball well lately, and they hope to do it again this time. Lucas Giolito will pitch too, and if he does well, the White Sox will beat the Pirates.

Pittsburgh has lost nine of its last 11 games on the road. The Pirates’ offense is a big issue, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they struggled against Giolito. He’s allowed a .569 OPS to his opponents in the last four starts.

The Pirates have not scored in two of their last four away games. They also have only 14 home runs over the past 8 away games. So, I am betting on the under nine runs at this line.

The White Sox can score lots of runs by themselves. But the Pirates’ bullpen has been good lately, with a 3.81 ERA and 4.56 FIP in the last two weeks of games.
