Lake Bachar has quietly put together a respectable rookie season for Pittsburgh, a 3.59 ERA that doesn't show up in his 1-3 record, and he faces a White Sox lineup that isn't the offensive terror the home run totals might suggest. Davis Martin brings a 4.13 ERA and a 9-6 mark for Chicago, solid enough on his own, but the real strength on this South Side roster is what's waiting behind him: a bullpen fronted by arms sitting in the low twos, the kind of relief corps that can turn a competitive game into a stranglehold from the sixth inning on. Pittsburgh's own staff has held up its end all year, a team ERA in the low fours that ranks among the more reliable in the league, and neither pitching staff is walking into this one banged up or overworked. Both lineups have had their moments, but neither is built to consistently hang runs against bullpens this sturdy on both sides. Back the UNDER tonight.
