Chicago at Pittsburgh

The Pittsburgh Pirates have been a feisty team starting the 20023 season, as they have started 4-2. They have to be feeling pretty good about themselves as they are off a 3 game sweep of Boston at Fenway, and they were a dog in all 3 contests. The White Sox are just 3-4 and they will go with Lucas Giolito. Giolito was considered a top-of-the-rotation starter when he first came up, but through 7 seasons he has a losing record and was hit hard in his 2023 debut. Rich Hill is a top-tier starter with a career record of 126-100. The Pirates are sky-high right now, and the matchup here is favorable for a close game. I like Pittsburgh on the run line.
