YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) While the Sox have cooled down a little bit, luckily the other teams in the division have been losing consistently too. As long as the Sox can handle Cleveland, KC, Detroit, and Minnesota, the division is theirs IMO.

flavum Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Only five AL teams are over .500. Orioles and Red Sox, Mariners and Rangers, and the White Sox. I'd like to know the odds that these five teams remain the postseason teams the entire rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 The Indians are now percentage points ahead of the Rangers for the 2nd wildcard. Indians well ahead of the Sox in the playoff odds now, which is understandable considering they were ahead even when the Sox were winning every day.

caulfield12 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 In terms of computer projections: The White Sox are 6-0 against the Twins, the Twins I think are even with the Indians so far...so that's expected to even out. Brantley's been hurt for most of this time, whereas the White Sox haven't had any major injuries (again), knock on wood. Kluber's been down, but Salazar is the equivalent of Sale/Quintana (almost) statistically...still don't like the back end of Anderson and Tomlin, but they have a huge wild card in Trevor Bauer that trumps any depth the Sox have (which isn't much). Carrasco's kind of the X-factor there with his health and consistency, and the one they arguably most tried to trade this offseason (along with Bauer). I'm not sure if the computer can project possible trades/additions (probably not until they're made), but they do have some nice pieces to trade from in their minor league system...but not nearly the financial flexibility of the Sox, Royals or Tigers.

caulfield12 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 The Royals will eviscerate the PECOTA prediction system if they win again despite Moustakas, Gordon, Perez, Young, Medlen and Dyson all missing major time already in just the first two months of the season.

Lip Man 1 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ May 15, 2016 -> 10:15 AM) As long as the Sox can handle Cleveland, KC, Detroit, and Minnesota, the division is theirs IMO. The Sox haven't been able to consistently beat teams in their division for years. Looks like that's not changing. 2-8 in last 10 games against division opponents.

caulfield12 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Guess we get another chance with the Tigers this week...not going to be easy to get more than 1/3 in Comerica. On the plus side, we should have Sale and Quintana in that series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
