How to Watch White Sox at Pirates (July 18): Stream MLB Live, TV Channel

The Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago White Sox kick off the second half of the season on Friday with their only series of the year.

The Pittsburgh Pirates kick off the second half of the season by hosting the Chicago White Sox starting on Friday night. This will be the only series of the season between these interleague opponents. The Pirates will go for their 40th win of the season tonight. Pittsburgh’s first half didn’t end the way the team likely would have preferred. After a six-game winning streak, the Pirates proceeded to lose eight games in a row. The Pirates are coming off a win, though, against the Minnesota Twins to finish off the first half and to stop the bleeding a bit. Pittsburgh should be the favorites to keep some of that momentum going tonight. The Pirates have a -165 line in their favor to win this opener at home, against the team with the worst record in the American League.

Chicago is trying to avoid losing three straight games, and four of its last five tonight. The good news for this season is that the White Sox have five more wins than they did this time last season. Chicago lost 17 games in a row to open up the second half of the 2024 season, and it’s more than likely that it will get at least one win in this series against the Pirates. Although the White Sox are likely looking at another last-place finish in the AL Central.

The White Sox will try to bounce back tonight by starting Jonathan Cannon, who is 3-7 with a 4.44 ERA. The Pirates have yet to announce who is likely their probable starting pitcher for this opener. At least they got an awesome appearance to start the All-Star game by their ace, Paul Skenes.
