PBP vs CWS Dream11 Prediction | MLB, Major League Baseball | Pittsburgh Pirates vs Chicago White Sox, 23 June

PBP vs CWS Dream11 Match Prediction: The thing with this ultra-high-professional level is that any team, notwithstanding the current form or the position on the table, can beat anyone. There’s a whole lot of difference between Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago White Sox with the former clearly second-best in every stats available. And yet, the Pirates, for once, proved to be unplayable, winning 6-3 in the last match. 

But that result falls in line with both teams’ current form. The Pirates are better at the moment than any version they carved out from themselves this season, while the White Six are in a free-fall, heading South and rolling down as if being attracted by the gravity. The second and the final game of this two-game series will be played at PNC Park on Wednesday night (IST).

As mentioned above, the Pittsburgh Pirates ripped the mickey out of the prem-match odds-on favourite Chicago White Sox in the last game. It was their third win in the last four league games, so it feels as if this team is starting to hit the big strides it has in the team. That said, that defeat must be a shot in the arm for the White Sox. The players must be grinding their teeth out in frustration. We expect a big response from the White Sox in this game and predict an away win for Chicago.
