It's still way too early to be monitoring the standings every day. The more important thing for the White Sox is to keep stringing wins together. You can look up at the standings at the All-Star break and see where you're at.

But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pulling for the team to take the lead in the AL Central, which they have a chance to do later tonight.

The 17-18 White Sox are currently 0.5 games back of both the Detroit Tigers and the Cleveland Guardians, who are 18-18.

If Cleveland loses in Kansas City, the Tigers lose to Boston, and the White Sox beat the Angels on Tuesday night, your 18-18 Chicago White Sox will be the leader in the AL Central.

The White Sox are currently in an AL wild card position, but something about seeing them on top of the division standings in May would be really exciting and a sign that things are getting better.
