Nah, Red Sox would beat the White Sox. I fully expect to see the White Sox implode once they hit the the post season--no matter who they play. They always implode in the post season. They were in a similar position in 2000 when they had the best record and deemed the best team only to be swept out of the playoffs in 72 hours.
Also look at them, they are dominant against AL Central teams, but nobody else, no doubt helped out by a very mediocre division. The Royals are the cellar, the Tigers have greatly improved but still fly under 500, the Twins are a worse team than theyve been before with some inconsistant pitching and some trade rumors in the air, and the Tribe have inconsistant pitching and anemic batting. The White Sox have basically struggled outside their division.
Listen, this team hasnt gone to a World Series since 1957 and havent won since 1917. Id hate to say the word cursed, but I mean theres definitely something fishy going on in Chicago in baseball (And Hockey).
Theyve got great pitching, I recognize that, and usually a team like the Sox have is able to push through to win, but it look at their lineup...its anemic on all ends. They have only 2 batters in their lineup that have a .280 average or higher (Podsenik and Rowand). I mean thats almost Pittsburgh Pirates land...
