Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Chicago White Sox
Saturday, July 13, 2024 – 02:10 PM ET at Guaranteed Rate Field
Pirates Pitching Profile
Pirates’ righty Luis Ortiz (4-2, 2.95 ERA, 1.18 WHIP) has made many more appearances as a reliever this season. However, his starts are becoming more frequent. In his last performance on Sunday, Ortiz pitched six full innings without allowing a run. He permitted just four hits in what resulted in a 3-2 loss to the Mets.
White Sox Pitching Profile
Veteran right-hander Chris Flexen will take the bump for the White Sox (2-7, 4.95 ERA, 1.38 WHIP) on Saturday and will try to build on a solid outing last Sunday when he pitched six full innings and allowed just two runs on seven hits in an 8-6 extra innings loss to the Twins.
The Pick
The White Sox are not a good team to begin with but when Chris Flexen takes the hill, they are Grade A fade material.
Consider for a moment that the White Sox have lost 11 straight games in which Flexen’s started and their record is just 2-17 in his 19 appearances this season. There’s no choice but to lay the lumber and bet on the Bucs.
Predicted Score: Pirates 7 – White Sox 3
