Chicago White Sox expect to make World Series push after All-Star break
Share your love
The Chicago White Sox entered the All-Star break this week tied with the Cleveland Guardians for first place in the American League Central with a 50-45 record, 10 wins short of their total victories for the entire 2025 campaign.
Even if the White Sox don’t win the division, they’re set up well to make the Wild Card, though any postseason appearance would be stunning from a team that went 41-121 in 2024 and 60-102 in 2025.
To say the turnaround has been dramatic would be an understatement, though some around the MLB are curious if the White Sox are riding a fluke. With a win differential of plus-35, Chicago seems for real, though the team would benefit from adding help to their starting pitching rotation for the back half of the season.
The White Sox sent three players to the All-Star game this week: 3B Miguel Vargas, OF Tristan Peters, and 1B Munetaka Murakami.
Murakami told Ryan McGuffey of The REKAP that the White Sox intend to make a World Series push coming out of the All-Star break.

“We’re not afraid of anything right now,” Murakami said. “We want to win, and we have that winning culture in our blood, so we’re going to look forward to going to the World Series, and that’s where we’re aiming right now. Nothing is surprising us at the moment.”
It might be a long shot, but the White Sox can’t be counted out of the World Series picture this summer. Chicago is one of only five AL teams with a winning record at the break.
The White Sox surprised the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers in June by taking two games of a three-game series in Chicago.
The White Sox have been dominant at Rate Field, going 31-17 at home. Chicago will need to improve playing on the road to be a World Series threat. The White Sox are 19-28 during away games this season.
Even if the White Sox fail to make a deep push in the postseason, the team looks like it will contend for the MLB crown in the future, and their latest draft class could continue a dynasty.
