That gives the Chicago White Sox the best pen in mlb, not even close

HUGE!

Chi Sox now have a top three AL starting rotation.
A rock solid bullpen in Hendricks and Kimbrel.
The best long middle reliever/spot starter in the AL (Kopech)
And a lineup that can rake!

Too bad the manager doesn't know his own name anymore but they'll still be OK

Personally I think the White Sox are the team to beat in the AL, not Houston.
Thing is you can't get proper odds on a futures wager.

White Sox have a 21.8 percent chance of winning the AL pennant (about +390) but the best price I can get is +340.
I need +400 to have even a slight edge over the books but the books aren't in business of giving me an edge.

They just got Jimenez back. Luis Robert coming back too
White Sox are loaded for October. With their pen? Teams are going to lose if they are trailing after 6 innings
