The Chicago White Sox got blasted 20-1 by the Minnesota Twins yesterday after winning the first two games of this home stand, but we look for them to bounce back today at a rather short price vs. a Pittsburgh Pirates club not known for their fine road play.

Not only are the White Sox as a team looking to redeem themselves here, but their starter Gavin Floyd is also looking to recover from three bad starts in a row. All three of those outings came on the road though, and Floyd has two Quality Starts in three home outings this year. He has also allowed exactly one run in each of his two career starts against the Pirates, and he is facing a Pittsburgh lineup that is batting just .239 on the road this season.

In fact, the Pirates have had a high home/away variance for quite some time, which is one of the reasons they are just 36-75 in their last 111 road games overall, and that always make them a prime road fade when the price is low like this. Remember also that while their starter Zach Duke is having a nice year, he has allowed nine earned runs and 18 hits in just 12 innings over two starts vs. the White Sox.

Look for Chicago to put that 20-1 drubbing behind them in a hurry with a crowd-pleasing win on Friday.
