The Chicago White Sox dropped their first game against the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday. The Pirates are going with Luis Ortiz on the mound. It will be his third start of the season after being mostly out of the pen. He is 4-2 with a 2.95 ERA this season. He has posted a 2.45 ERA on the road. The Pirates are putting up 4.12 runs per game. The Sox will go with Chris Flexen on the mound. He is 2-7 this season with a 4.95 ERA. He has posted a 5.00 ERA at home. Chicago is putting up 3.22 runs per game which is last in baseball. Flexen has been prone to the long ball and doesn’t overpower hitters. I like the Pirates in this one but the line is a little high so this is my free play.

Play on Pittsburgh, This is a FREE PLAY.
