MLB Power Rankings Week 5

2. Chicago White Sox

---

Record: 22-10, Last Week: No. 4, The Breakdown: Are we done doubting the White Sox yet? Heading into Sunday, Chicago had won five of itslast eight and sat five games ahead of the closest team in the AL Central standings. The White Sox are the only team in the entire AL to have 20 wins this season. Oh, and Chris Sale. Chris Sale is pretty good. He's won all seven of his starts, gaining confidence on his fastball and, according to ESPN, putting 47.6 percent of his pitches in the upper half of the zone. That's a career-high. That means? He's throwing pitches that force opposing batters to hit poorly. He's throwing pitches that his defense can play. He's throwing pitches that help his team win. (Getty)
