Step to the head of the line if you knew that it's the White Sox who have the best record in the American League since June 30 going 19-10. That includes victories in eight of their last 10 games.




I like the White Sox to win again today with a pitching matchup of Ivan Nova versus Jeff Samardzija. Nova is on the comeback trail after being out most of the season. The Yankees' bullpen carries a heavy fatigue rating. New York has lost the past five times Nova has been an underdog.




The right-handed Samardzjia should be relaxed now that he wasn't traded. He's a solid No. 2 type starter who has pitched better at home this season with a 4-2 record and 2.86 ERA. The Yankees have lost 17 of the past 25 times they've faced a righty on the road.
