Chicago White Sox have been performing exceptionally well in recent times. Over the last five years, they have emerged as the strongest team in the AL Central division, given the strength of their roster and consistency in the league games. And just like last year, once again, the White Sox are favorites to win the AL Central division in the 2022 season as well.

However, it will not be easy for the White Sox this time around. With some notable updates themselves, the Minnesota Twins and the Cleveland Indians are also in contention to win the division.

Regardless, fans still believe that the White Sox will be able to retain their division championship. As per a poll conducted on a leading sports website, the Sox are favorites to win the American League Central division in the 2022 season.

Chicago White Sox > Minnesota Twins, Cleveland Indians?

During the 2021 season, with 93 wins and only 69 losses, the White Sox dominated the central division. As for the second-best team, the Cleveland Indians, they managed to win only 80 games in the last season. However, the equation will not be that easy in 2022. 

With Carlos Correa by their side, the Twins may cause serious damage to any team; not ruling out the Indians in contention to win the division. Despite roster specifics promising a showdown, as per Fox Sports, fans have picked Chicago White Sox to win the AL Central division, ahead of the likes of the Twins and Indians.
