Pirates vs White Sox Prediction

Give the White Sox credit for winning a couple of games, but they’re still a million games under a .500 record. Civale also has a 5.30 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, and he’s 0-6 as a starter for the Sox since coming over from the Brewers. Civale hasn’t won a game since June 2. Heaney isn’t off to the best start in July, but he has a 2.53 ERA and .219 allowed batting average in 46.1 home innings. As I’ve said unless times over the years, I’m not in the business of backing the White Sox. I’m just not. Give me the Pirates on Sunday afternoon.
