The log jam for the two AL Wild Card playoff spots includes almost every team in the league still in the hunt. However, one team that held a fire sale prior to the All-Star break, the Chicago White Sox, is not. Chicago has swung the bats well, but it all comes down to their team pitching that has been woeful. Chicago cashed in Chris Sale at the end of last year, and Carlos Quinntana this year. That has left this team bankrupt of starting pitching. The last 51 games for the Pale Hose shows them at 16-35, and allowing a staggering 6.14 runs per contest. Minnesota is really swinging the bats well, and are right there when it comes to the Wild Card, and I think they get it done here tonight. Take Minnesota.
