Predicted Outcome
Chicago’s Dylan Cease has the advantage on the mound, boasting more consistent strikeout numbers and WHIP control over Pittsburgh’s Keller, who’s struggled with first‑inning pressure. With the White Sox’s recent dominance in this matchup and PNC Park’s wind holding balls in, under 8.5 runs is appealing. Expect the White Sox to keep their hold and secure a 4–2 or 5–3 win, covering the run line.
