The White Sox host the Texas Rangers for a three-game set over the weekend, and while this doesn’t promise to provide a ton of crucial preview data for you, hey, you’re here already, have a look.
The White Sox are 26-29 and in third place in the AL Central, five games back of Minnesota, two behind the Guardians for second place, and 3 1⁄2 ahead of Detroit, who is left with zero arms but nonetheless have been creeping back out of oblivion of late. Chicago’s -57 run differential indicates two things: Tony La Russa is managing better than last year (by pure run diff, the White Sox should be 21-34), and the Pale Hose are on pace for a 63-99 record for the season (in spite of how atrocious the AL Central is, that record will fall short of the playoffs).
