The Chicago White Sox are currently 45-35 and in first place in the American League Central.

The White Sox have been up and down throughout the season but continue to benefit from a weak division that has vastly underperformed.

However, the Detroit Tigers have finally climbed back to .500 and could be lurking in the next few weeks.

The White Sox are getting by right now without first baseman Paul Konerko, who has been placed on the disabled list for the first time in his career.

Meanwhile, outfielder Jermaine Dye has been scorching hot, having hit eight home runs in his past 12 games.
