The Cleveland Guardians are proving hard to catch in the AL Central, but the Chicago White Sox continue to do what they can to try to close the gap. This afternoon, they will have their ace on the mound as they look to wrap up a two-game sweep of the visiting Colorado Rockies.
With 10 wins in their last 13 games, the White Sox are playing their best baseball of the season. Whether or not it has to do with manager Tony La Russa being away from the team is anyone's guess, but their form is strong as they prepare for the most important stretch of their season.
In eight days, the White Sox mi ght be riding high, or their postseason hopes will be on their last legs. After today, they have a single game at Cleveland tomorrow and a weekend series in Detroit before hosting the Guardians for three games next week.
Cease is slated to get the ball for the opener of the series with the Guardians next Tuesday, but today, he will be tasked with mowing down the Rockies and at worst remain three games behind Cleveland in the division.
