20 Games left! How many will the team win? How many to take the division? #WhiteSox

Win tonight, take all 4 from Cleveland, get 5 of 6 from Detroit, and coast for the last 9 games…
15-5
3 more than Cleveland does.
I have been thinking 83 will be enough to win this division— and I’m still mostly there. With 73 wins, the Sox need to play .500 ball to get to 83– and if the Sox can do anything, it’s play .500 ball.
The issue is where those 10-ish wins come from. If they don’t win 3 of the 4 games against CLE, it’s basically over, as they’d be sitting probably 4 back without control of their fate, needing CLE to go ice cold the last week of the season to have a chance.
Sox have to take 3 of 4 against Cleveland. A split likely won’t cut it. And let’s assume Cleveland does get 1 of those.
That would leave the Sox effectively 2 games behind due to losing the tiebreaker.
Sox would have 16 remaining games to Cleveland’s 18. Guardians have some really easy games so 11-7 in their remaining schedule seems like a reasonable expectation, if even a little conservative.
That leaves the Sox needing to go 16-4 overall to finish out. Maybe 15-5 gets it done.
The battle for mediocrity will be an exciting one! I think we will miss the playoffs by a game. Sox/Cleveland schedule is pretty uneventful with us playing the Padres and Cleveland playing tampa. Hopeful for a Cleveland choke!
14-6. Will come down to the final day. None of us will have hair and will pass out drunk only to wake up in time for the playoffs to begin.
If we don’t win at least 3 of 4 from Cleveland I feel like it’s over.
3 out of 4 from Cleveland and 11 of the other 16. If they split or worse with Cleveland I’m not sure they can without Cleveland really falling apart.

4 of the next 5, 1 of which has to be tomorrow, then 2 of the 3 against Cleveland. Then prob 7-8 of the last 12. Would put them like 13-7 or 14-6? If they handle Cleveland I like their chances.
They’re going to have to go 17-3 and win every game against Cleveland.
We aren’t making the playoffs.
We will win 8 games. Salt of the earth motherfucker.

Not enough.
Got to have 14 or 15 to have a shot at the division. Don’t stop believing…
