...who believes the Chicago White Sox are COUNTERFEIT?! Much is being made of their 21-7 start, but let us examine them a bit more closely....
Of the six opponents they've faced in series so far, only 1 has a record better than .500. They've played a grand total of 5 games out of 28 against teams with better than .500 records.
The combined record of the teams they've faced is 71-94.
The two teams they've played the most -- 6 times each -- the no-account Indians and sorry Royals -- have a combined record of 18-38. The Royals are 7-21. Talk about padding the early schedule.
But things are about to get harder. During the rest of the month of May, the White Sox will play 19 of 25 games against teams with records above .500.
If they're still 14 games above .500 on June 1, then we can talk about them being a legitimate contender to make the playoffs. But NOT until then.
