How many games will the Chicago White Sox win in the 60-game 2020 MLB season? We look at the White Sox’s MLB futures odds, including their projected 2020 win total and Over/Under odds at BetMGM, and make our best bet.

Chicago White Sox’s 2019 recap

The White Sox went 72-89 (.447) a year ago, placing third in the American League Central Division. The Sox went 32-24 against AL Central foes not named the Twins (the Pale Hose went just 6-13 against Minnesota). Chicago averaged 4.4 runs per contest while yielding 5.2.

On the betting rolls, the ChiSox did quite well as heavy underdogs: they went 9-14 with a 38.9% ROI when tagged with a price of +200 or more. But they did finish 78-38 vs. the run line with a 75-80-6 Over/Under record.

Chicago White Sox’s offseason

The Sox added some rotation help for 2020 in SPs Dallas Keuchel and Gio Gonzalez. They also added C Yasmani Grandal, OF Nomar Mazara and DH Edwin Encarnacion. These are veteran pieces added to a youthful and solid organization that ranks near the top third in MLB as far as projected pipeline production.

Chicago White Sox’s 2020 schedule

The Sox will play 40 games against AL Central opponents – 10 games vs. each – and 20 total games against NL Central clubs. The 60-game schedule was set this way to limit travel since these clubs are geographically close.

The White Sox O/U win total is 31.5 with both the Over and Under carrying -110 odds. In a vacuum, this is a team I’d want the Over for in general terms … as in, “figure better things than last year.” But the current 31.5 O/U line begs a prudent watch – hope for 32.5 and hammer the Under.

Chicago White Sox’s World Series odds

In this sprint format, the White Sox are a LIKABLE PLAY AT +2500 to win the Series.

Chicago White Sox’s playoff odds

Chicago is listed at +320 to take the AL Central flag and +1200 to represent the AL in the Fall Classic. Both numbers have workable value; consider the Pale Hose part of any 5-to-8 team variable field action for a variety of these plays.

How many games will the Chicago White Sox win in 2020?

Analyzing Chicago White Sox projected wins for the 2020 MLB season.

For a team that finished 17 games under .500 in 2019, the Chicago White Sox have a lot of positive buzz heading into spring training. They undertook a three-year roster rebuild that started in 2017 and there is a growing sentiment that with the investment they made in the offseason, they’re ready to make an upward move toward the Indians and Twins in the A.L. Central.

Chicago White Sox 2019 wins

The White Sox won 72 games last year, but were hovering around .500 for the first three months of the season before collapsing in July (7-17). They finished 26-30 beginning on Aug. 1 and showed resilience as their young core players didn’t fade down the stretch.

Chicago White Sox offseason

The White Sox increased their payroll by $50 million a year with the signing of LHP Dallas Keuchel, C Yasmani Grandal and DH Edwin Encarnacion. Throw in a trade with Texas to acquire OF Nomar Mazara and the White Sox added a lot of talent without gutting the current roster or the farm system. This doesn’t look like a team that is in rebuild mode anymore.

The White Sox are getting a lot of respect from the oddsmakers at BetMGM at +350 and, in our view, Chicago has the talent to jump past Cleveland. But the Twins are going to suffer a collapse for the White Sox to catch them because Minnesota has added even more power to a team that set the Major League record for home runs last season. Chicago is four deep in the rotation with Lucas Giolito, Keuchel, Reynaldo Lopez and Gio Gonzalez. The number here doesn’t give the return some think it should, so a small bet would make sense here because if Minnesota takes a backward step, 90-92 wins could put Chicago in position to contend.

At +3300, the Sox are getting nice return, but it will be gauntlet to get out of the American League, especially as a wild card. Even if they beat out the Twins in the A.L. Central, there are still the Astros and Yankees to contend with in the postseason. They went 14-19 against those three teams last season. PLACE A SMALL WAGER ON THE SOX and package it with a couple of other mid-level long shots and take your chances. Next year, this number will likely be much lower.

How many games will Chicago White Sox win in 2020?

The combination of starting pitcher depth, having three switch-hitters in the starting lineup, employing the defending AL batting champion (Tim Anderson), and adding veteran leadership in Grandal and Encarnacion is enticing. Throw in 34 games with the struggling Royals and Tigers and Chicago could start banking wins like Minnesota and Cleveland have. My over/under for Chicago is 88.5, so I’m all over their BetMGM number of 83.5 (Over -139 / Under +115). Currently bettors have to invest more (-139) in the over for the Sox than any team in MLB. It’s for a valid reason. TAKE THE OVER.
