Series Stream: Cleveland at Chicago, September 24-26
In a bizarre piece of scheduling, the Indians and White Sox have gone almost four months since playing each other. The AL Central rivals played 12 times in the first months of the season, and haven't played since. When the Indians last played the White Sox, both clubs were contending for first place in the AL Central, with the Indians leaving Chicago on May 27th a half-game behind the White Sox. Things have certainly changed for the Indians since then, but Chicago has pretty much stayed on track.

But last night Zach McAllister put the Indians in a position to win, while today Corey Kluber did the same.
