99 wins is nothing to sneeze at and it shows that the White Sox are a very, very good team.
36 over 500 but what is striking is they were 30 over just in the division.
The road record 52-29 is staggering
It is the home record that gives pause 47-34
I'm sure the SABR folks will look at these numbers for years but does it offer any clue of what will happen this week? I honestly don't know.

Boston and New York for example did not dominate the AL East but did well playing outside the division.
There is always talk here of the East Coast bias and I think a lot of it stems from the unbalanced schedule, Eastern teams just don't play the 5 Central teams that much. Boton for example is 22-13 with both the Central and West but we only play 4 teams out west.
Honestly I think the White Sox have to step it up at home or they might be in trouble this post season.
