The White Sox (89-68) will host the Reds (82-75) on Tuesday for the first of a three-game series. The South Siders have five regular season games remaining and are very likely to be the American League’s No. 3 seed. The Astros (91-65), the projected No. 2 seed, will probably have home field advantage during their matchup against the White Sox in the ALDS. Houston has a 2.5-game lead over the White Sox, and they hold the tiebreaker if they finish with the same record.
Reynaldo López will start on the mound for the South Siders.
