The White Sox enter this series just 2.5 games back from the division league in the AL Central, which seems to be shaping up as a horse race between three teams. This comes after there was much ballyhoo last season about the arrival of the White Sox as the Bearers of the Crown in the Central, but things haven’t quite shaken out that way this year.
The ChiSox fell down hard out of the gate this season and are only just now putting themselves in a position to win, which comes mostly because the other two teams in the race aren’t really distinguishing themselves in the win column.
