Chicago White Sox vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction 7-14-24 Picks

In this article, we will formulate a Chicago White Sox vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction for this MLB Game on Sunday, July 14th at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Pirates Pour It On Late

The Pirates had strong pitching on Saturday, but it was the three runs in the top of the 9th that gave some insurance and locked up the win for good. Bryan Reynolds finished with four hits and drove in four RBIs. The Pirates are averaging 4.14 runs, while their pitching is giving up 4.28 runs per Game. The offense is ranked 22nd, while the pitching is ranked 14th. Bryan Reynolds has hit 17 home runs and driven in 60 RBIs. Getting the start for the Pirates will be Mitch Keller, who sits with a 10-5 record and an ERA of 3.40. 

Why the Pirates Will Beat the White Sox

• The White Sox have lost each of their last 10 home games against NL Central opponents following a loss.
• The Pirates have won six of their last seven road games against AL Central opponents that held a losing record.
• The White Sox have failed to cover the run line each of their last nine games at Guaranteed Rate Field against NL Central opponents that held a losing record.
• The Pirates have covered the run line each of their last four road games against teams that held a losing record.

White Sox Continue to be Awful

Being a fan of the team that plays on the south side of Chicago can’t be all that fun, and they are coming off another loss on Sunday. The White Sox scored only two runs and the pitching gave up six on the way to the defeat. Luis Robert Jr finished with one hit that drove in a run. The White Sox are averaging 3.19 runs, while their pitching is giving up 4.96 runs per Game. The offense is ranked 30th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 27th. Paul DeJong has hit 16 home runs and driven in 37 RBIs so far this season. Getting the start for the White Sox will be Chad Kuhl who sits with a 0-0 record and an ERA of 4.15. His last appearance was against the Minnesota Twins, and he went two innings, giving up zero runs.

Chicago White Sox vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction

I have zero interest in trusting the White Sox right now, and they are going to really struggle here. The White Sox bats have been ice-cold all season, and they are going to really struggle to get going here. Mitch Keller sits with an EAR of 3.40 and that number is going to go down here. The Pirates’ offense will find enough success off Kuhl to come out on top. Back the Pirates on the run line.
