In 2021, the Chicago White Sox cruised to an AL Central Division title before losing to the Houston Astros in the ALDS. The White Sox entered this season as heavy favorites to win the division again and had high hopes for a deep playoff run.
However, things have not gone according to plan. Chicago has struggled to maintain consistency and enters Thursday’s game with an overall record of 56-55.
Nonetheless, the AL Central is still in play — Chicago is still only 2.5 games behind the Cleveland Guardians. The goal for Thursday will be salvaging a split after losing two of the first three games to the Kansas City Royals.
It has already been a successful home stand for Kansas City after it took three of four from the Boston Red Sox. A win over the Chicago would give Kansas City a 6-2 start to the home stand before it welcomes the Los Angeles Dodgers to town.
