Chicago White Sox

So you’re saying the Chicago White Sox have a chance? Three games under .500 (17-20), the White Sox sit two games behind the Cleveland Guardians for the lead of the American League Central.

The White Sox have a chance to win in one of the least chaotic divisions in Major League Baseball, which could give them the chance to sneak into a wild-card spot, despite the roster not being ready. The early signs of life from the White Sox have made them one of the surprise contenders to make the postseason.

According to MLB.com’s Thomas Harrigan, the White Sox ranked fourth on a list of six major league teams whose surprise success put them in line to make the playoffs. The White Sox have not made the postseason since they lost in the American League Division Series to the Houston Astros (3-1).

“The White Sox are only 17-20 on the year, but they’ve gone 11-7 in their past 18 games to move within 1 1/2 games of first place in the AL Central, which was shaping up to be a wide-open race even before the Tigers lost ace Tarik Skubal to an elbow issue,” wrote Harrigan. “Ultimately, Chicago’s playoff hopes may rest on whether Davis Martin (1.64 ERA) and Sean Burke (2.72 ERA) continue to provide stability in the club’s rotation.”

The White Sox’s offseason acquisition of first baseman Munetaka Murakami has proven to help give a jolt to the offense (.237 batting average with a .934 OPS and second in Major League Baseball in home runs (14). However, the starting rotation is a question mark, as right-hander Shane Smith was optioned to Triple-A and is on the injured list and will offer no help anytime soon.

If by the Aug. 3 trade deadline the White Sox continue to show they have a chance, a trade for a starting pitcher or two could help push them past the Guardians and or the Detroit Tigers (18-20).
