The problem with betting against the White Sox to win the American League Central is how counterintuitive it feels.
A lineup with Tim Anderson, Yoan Moncada, Yasmani Grandal, Luis Robert, Jose Abreu, Eloy Jimenez and Andrew Vaughn should be among the toughest to slow down, right? And a pitching staff with Lucas Giolito, Dylan Cease, Lance Lynn, Liam Hendriks, Kendall Graveman and Michael Kopech should hardly give up too many runs.
Then you watch this Sox team play and wonder how they were ever favorites at all.
