Cleveland really needed a series win, and the White Sox spoiled their chances of making the postseason. Winning two out of three games, and the season series, the White Sox made friends in Minneapolis, St. Petersburg, and Oakland. 
Driving the White Sox series win was the emergence of 2018 Daniel Palka, Kelvin Herrera, bullpen arms sticking together, and timely offense. Looking ahead to the final series of the season against Detroit, can the White Sox finish 2019 with a winning divisional record?
