Chicago White Sox Starting Lineup 10/20/21 White Sox Lineup
93-69, 1st in AL Central
Confirmed Conf
Along with the Miami Marlins, the Chicago White Sox made the biggest improvement from 2019 to 2020. Projected across a full 162-game season, last year's 35 White Sox victories would have calculated to a 94-victory season. This was a huge jump from 79-wins in 2019. 2020 was the first winning record for the White Sox since 2012. It was also only the second time the team from Chicago's Southside made the playoffs since winning a World Series Title in 2005. To say the White Sox had a dramatic fall from grace would be an understatement. But the hope for White Sox fans springs eternal ahead of the new season.

Chicago finished only a game behind the Twins for the Central Division crown. Clearly the leap from a bottom-10 ranked pitching staff to one of the six stingiest ERA staffs in baseball was huge. Back as the ace of the White Sox staff is Lucas Giolito. Giolito threw one of MLB's two no-hitters during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. Jose Abreu had a phenomenal season, so good it earned him the American League's Most Valuable Player award. While success is happening right now for the White Sox, they have a roster loaded with young talent. Chicago ranks as one of the top-10 youngest teams for both hitters and pitchers. Without many off-season additions to boost the seventh worst run production in baseball, the White Sox hopes of another playoff appearance will again be on the shoulders of their pitching staff.
