The Chicago White Sox are going to have a hard enough time with their own division. They haven’t been a competitive team for the playoffs since 2012 and they haven’t actually made it to the postseason since 2008. This is a year where they want to participate in the MLB playoffs so they need to be ready for everyone. With the Minnesota Twins likely being a good team and the unknown from the Cleveland Indians, the Wild Card race is also important to monitor for the White Sox.
Two teams who might be in that race with the White Sox are the Houston Astros and the Boston Red Sox.
