The White Sox have been playing pretty good of late. But I did not realize until this morning that they were as of games ending 5/16/2021, the best team in baseball. The Sox started the season started the season 1-3 but finished April with a respectful 14-11. So far in May the Whiite Sox have gone 10-4 including winning 8 of their last 10 games. This chart of the Top 16 teams in the major leagues shows which teams along with the White Sox are playing .500 ball or better almost 2 months into the season.
