The White Sox head into Houston on a bit of a lower trajectory in comparison to last season, currently sitting at third in their division with a record hovering around 500. This comes after the team struggled to start the season, stumbling out of the gate and putting themselves in a divisional hole they’re still not quite out of.
Still, at the moment the ChiSox only sit 5 games back of the Twins, so they’re well within striking distance at this point in the season. But there’s a growing sense that questionable managerial decisions coupled with injuries are keeping the White Sox from returning to the AL Central lead that so many people thought they would have all season.
