The Chicago White Sox are currently 39-31 and in first place in the American League Central.

The White Sox are benefitting from a division that isn’t nearly as strong as it was expected to be, as both the Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers have struggled.

Chicago has been getting a solid balance of good hitting and good pitching to win ball games, and manager Ozzie Guillen continues to get his guys fired up to play.

It is worth noting that first baseman Paul Konerko is heading to the disabled list at the same time the Tigers are starting to get hot and making a move up the standings.
