Again, keeping units low here until I'm more comfortable with my moneyline model. But each iteration of my model has the Pirates as slight favorites here. I believe it's more about being low on the White Sox than being high on the Pirates. The White Sox are a below-average team in their current state in the bullpen, on defense, and as a baseline offense (though they get a boost today against a lefty). The Pirates aren't great in any of those departments, either, but they don't really need to be. They just need to be relatively even as moneyline underdogs at home. I like what Lucas Giolito did in his first start, which was a tough spot, but things other than pitching do matter, as well.
