The White Sox have been playing really well lately. They currently sit in second place in the American League East with a record of 76-71. Their win percentage has been an impressive .517. A big concern, however, for the White Sox is their below-par home record. They have gone 35-37 at the Guaranteed Rate Field this season.

The Guardians have been the best side in the AL Central. They have an overall record of 80-67 this season, with a win percentage of .544. They look to be the favorites to clinch the division because of their buffer at the top, as well as their consistent form.
