With the Chicago White Sox beating Detroit on Thursday at The Rate, there is a virtual tie atop the A.L. Central. However, Chicago won the season series over the Cleveland Guardians thanks to their victory on Monday night in Ohio. It's going to be a battle for second place and a first round bye or the sixth and final spot behind the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, who are both ticketed for a wild card matchup at Yankee Stadium to close out September. (Yes, you read that right--the calendar has the regular season ending on September 27). |

Small correction: Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox are playing at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida due to the historic Nor'easter storm that has battered the East Coast from North Carolina to Boston that started early on Saturday and will not let up until sometime on Monday. |
