Predicted Outcome
The Pirates should edge this one thanks to home-field advantage, a more consistent bullpen, and Heaney’s steadiness in recent starts. The White Sox, bolstered by their dominant Friday performance (10–1 win), might put together a few runs early—but Pittsburgh’s lineup depth and defensive efficiency should control the middle innings. Expect a tight win for the Pirates, 5–3, with the total staying under given cooler conditions and wind restricting offense.
