The Chicago White Sox will open the playoffs on the road after the Cleveland Guardians clinched the American League Central title on Saturday.
The Guardians’ win over the Kansas City Royals, coupled with a White Sox loss to the Colorado Rockies at Rate Field, gives Cleveland the division title and a bye into the American League Division Series.
With their loss, the White Sox will open the playoffs on the road, and will face the winner of the American League West title.
That race is coming down to the wire between the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers, with the teams entering play tied for the division lead on Saturday. The Rangers defeated the Minnesota Twins to edge ahead in the race, but the Astros could move back ahead with a win over the Athletics in California.
If the two teams were to remain tied in the standings at the end of the season, Houston would hold the tiebreaker over Texas, and would host the White Sox beginning Tuesday night in a best-of-three Wild Card Series.
The winner of that series would then face the Guardians in the American League Division Series, with the first two games of that best-of-five series taking place in Cleveland in October.
The Tampa Bay Rays, who have already clinched the American League East crown, will await the winner of a three-game series between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, who are the top-two wild card teams in the American League.
