15-12. Previous: 6th. Chicago White Sox. 10. team. 128.

The Chicago White Sox have gotten some bad news on Luis Robert, who is going to be out three to four month with a hip flexor. That means they will not get the slugger back until late summer, or early Fall, so hopefully they can still be in the mix by the time he gets back.

In addition, there are starting to be some grumblings about manager Tony LaRussa, and the moves he has been making as of late. The White Sox have enough young talent to really make an impact in the American League this season, but it appears they are starting to trend in the wrong direction.

9. team. 39. . 14-12. Previous: 24th. Toronto Blue Jays

One of the more exciting teams in all of baseball is the Toronto Blue Jays, who have a lineup of former MLB All-Star’s sons. Guys like Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio, and Vlad Guerrero Jr. have what it takes to make this Blue Jays franchise a winner for a long time, so they just have to play more consistently.

Toronto has won four of their last six, and have inched their way towards the top of the AL East, a division that is really going to go down to the wire this year. Overall, this is a team that is going to be in it the rest of the way, and hopefully they can get some pitching to go along with this young, and exciting lineup.
