Happy Monday Baseball Fans.
The White Sox are 19-29 after 48 games and are in 4th place in the A.L central 6.5 games out of first place. This is not great news for a team that was expected to compete for the division this year and possibly cash in on their World Series window.
But if you look at the stats there are some gleams of optimism shining through an otherwise storm start to the year.
The White Sox are 10 games below .500 but they were also 10 games below .500 (an unimpressive 7-17) 24 games ago. This means that the White Sox have gone 12-12 in their last 24 games. They have also won 6 of their last 8 games. In essence they have stopped the bleeding and perhaps have made themselves a stepping stone for success.
After their successful homestand the Sox are just one game below 500 at the former U.S. Cellular Field which used to be called Comiskey Park prior to that. They now go on a very important road trip with 7 games against the 2nd and 3rd place teams in their division (Cleveland Guardians and Detroit Tigers ). The Sox are a lowly 7-16 on the road and only 9-7 against their division so they have their work cut out for them if they want to inch their way back into contention.
