Editor's note: After a busy first half of the 2016 Major League Baseball season, Joe Peta is here to take a look at both the good and bad for all 30 teams, along with projecting the second half from a betting perspective. This is the entry for the Chicago White Sox.
Records reflect all games played through Sunday. All statistics are through each team's 81st game. Season-to-date pricing adds the implied win probability from the money line of each team's first 81 games and converts it to 162 games.
Chicago White Sox
Vegas projection: 80.5 wins
My projection: 78 wins
Current record/pace: 45-43 (83-win pace)
Season-to-date pricing: 82.7 wins
What's gone right: In jumping off to a 24-12 start, the White Sox built a five-game lead over the rest of the division and demonstrated to their fans for the first time since 2010 that the team could play .667 baseball during a stretch of games that long.
