Where Do the Chicago White Sox Fall in the AL Wild Card Standings?

If the White Sox can’t catch the Guardians in the AL Central, here’s the playoff outlook for the AL Wild Card standings.

The Guardians and White Sox play a three-game series in Chicago this week that will have a huge impact on the AL Central race.But the White Sox are further back from that third and final Wild Card spot than they are the AL Central leading Guardians.

The Seattle Mariners are currently in position to win the third Wild Card spot, and the White Sox sit five games back - 1.5 games further back than they are of the Guardians. The first two Wild Card spots go to the Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays, both from the AL Central. One silver lining for the White Sox, the Guardians play a three-game series against the Rays next week. The Rays will be paying for better seeding in the playoffs and should provide a tough series for Cleveland.

For the wild card, the White Sox have the tie breaker over the Mariners and the Rays this season. But, they would need to make up a lot of ground in 15 games to activate the tie breaker for the final wild card spot.
