Chicago White Sox Odds To Win AL Central Title

The Chicago White Sox are among Major League Baseball's most disappointing teams. The Pale Hose opened +1100 to win the World Series and +1000 to top the American League Central. They have qualified for the playoffs two seasons running and their window to winning appeared wide open in the spring.

The Chicago White Sox are the second-place team in the American League Central behind the Cleveland Indians. They are behind Minnesota Twins and the Indians in their division. The White Sells' chances took a hit this week when SS Tim Anderson suffered an injury that will keep him out for the majority of the stretch run.

The Chicago White Sox are hovering around .500. They are 2.5 games behind the first-place Twins and Indians and 2 games out of the third Wild Card spot. Their 68 errors are the fourth-most and their .983 fielding percentage is tied for fourth worst. On the positive side, they rank top five in batting average and hits and in the top six in strikeouts.

The Chicago White Sox are the division favorite. They have quality players up and down the roster. The team is talented enough to win the AL Central. The big wild card in the equation could have been the August 2 trade deadline. However, the team didn't make any big moves. It's unlikely that they will.
