Phillies opposition preview: Chicago White Sox
The White Sox share something in common with the Phillies, a love for Baseball Hall of Famer Jim Thome, who starred with both ball clubs and now works for the Chisox organization. (Erik Drost)The Chicago White Sox (46-60) come in to South Philly for a three-game weekend Interleague series with the host Philadelphia Phillies (57-51) at Citizens Bank Park.
Though both teams are at around the same spot in their respective divisions, their respective fates in this 2019 season couldn’t be more different. The Chisox season is already over. They are buried at 14.5 games out in both the AL Central Division race and American League Wildcard playoff race.
