So disappointing the Twins and Angels each couldn't win at least one game against the Guardians the last 2 series.

Yes, but more disappointing is the fact that the Sox are trailing the Guardians by so much at this point in the season that they need to rely on other teams to get the job done for them.

Nope. Weather looks perfect during that series.

Civale had a bad outing tonight.

So what are we looking at?

Civale vs Cease

McKenzie vs Lynn

Bieber vs Giolito

With the off day Monday, sox could bump Giolito again and match Bieber up with Cueto.

Twins are burning through their bullpen tonight. That’s not going to bode well with 5 games over the next 4 days. 

We really only NEED them to win 2. Anything more would be fabulous of course. Both of those pens are gonna be fried after the series regardless.

I can think of scenarios where it would be best if the Twins swept or went 4-1, or if the Guardians did the same, or even if they went 2/3 or 3/2; it just all swirls my mind.
I think it comes down to is sweep the Guardians and the Sox will take the division; anything less and the Sox sit.  
One thing that would have helped, but it appears not to be, is for the Padres to have clinched a playoff spot prior to our series.

The best thing for the White Sox would be the Guardians losing as many as possible.

The White Sox have 6 left against the Twins and 3 left against the Guardians. The White Sox can knock the Twins out on their own. They can’t overcome a 4 loss deficit against the Guardians without help.

Certainly if the Sox do less than sweep the Guardians, then it's best that the Twins win as many as possible from Guardians.  But, even if the Sox go 2-1 against the Guardians, we're still 3 out on the loss column, with no tiebreakers. And as for the Guardians "tough" series against the Rays, well, the worst-record wild card team gets to play the weakest opponent, the Central winner; losing that series isn't such a bad thing for the Rays. I just don't see the Sox winning this without a sweep.

However, if Guardians win 3 or more against the Twins, the Twins are buried.  And then the Sox get to face a demoralized Twins team for 6 games.

Minnesota sweeping would be a dream. I feel like our chances with 6 games left with them than staying 3 behind Cleveland and needing to sweep them. Followed by praying for KC to win.
