On Tuesday, the Chicago White Sox has a date with the Oakland Athletics who are the champions of the American League West. Despite the fact that the two teams finished one game apart in the regular season, the White Sox dropped five seeds below the A’s. The Athletics finished as the No. 2 seed, while the White Sox were slapped with the No. 7 seed following a loss to the Chicago Cubs and a Cleveland Indians victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. That results in a trip to Oakland for the start of the postseason. Tuesday will be the first meeting of the season between the two ball clubs.
