For some reason, the Chicago White Sox continue to refuse to run through the opening that continues to be provided for them to take control of the AL Central.
A road trip against the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals offered up the opportunity to bag several wins against two of the poorer teams in the American League.
Instead, they managed only a split from their four-game series in Arlington last week, and that is the best they will be able to get from their trip to K.C. if they win this afternoon's series finale.
Still, they are only 2.5 games back in the AL Central, and with th e first-place Cleveland Guardians set for a tough trip to Toronto this weekend, a big weekend could be ahead for Chicago. But to take maximum advantage of the possibilities, they need to head into their weekend visit from the struggling Detroit Tigers with a win.
