New York Yankees - They were winning around 80% of their most recent 10 games now and were now at 69-52.
----
AL Central
Chicago White Sox - 71-51 was their record. But the White Sox were playing just .500 baseball at the moment, perhaps because they are in such a comfortable lead in the AL Central. They were 11.5 up from the Cleveland Indians.

Game Watch
1. White Sox @ Rays
The White Sox are a +120 underdog here. It's Chicago's Dallas Keuchel (8-6, 4.48) vs. Tampa Bay's Luis Patino (2-3, 4.73).
Dallas Keuchel yielded two runs in five innings Monday in a win over the A's. Luis Patino allowed two runs on two hits and five walks with two strikeouts over three innings in a no-decision against the Twins on Sunday.
Patino allowed four runs over six frames Tuesday versus the Red Sox, taking a no-decision in the Rays' 8-4 win.
Tampa Bay has managed to score 5 or more runs in over their last five games and we anticipate Keuchel to struggle a bit here. Nelson Cruz is 18 of 57 at bats vs. Keuchel with 6 homers and 10 RBIs.
Chicago has allowed 5 or more runs in five of their last eight games.
Half of the last ten games in this series have seen OVER 9 runs.
