The Chicago White Sox had a resurgent year this season. After multiple years of being one of the worst teams in baseball, all the young talent seemed to click. The White Sox ended the season 84-78 and took the final Wild Card spot, losing out to the Guardians in the division.
This is a bit like the White Sox playing with house money, as no one really expected them to be in this position this year. Still, their team is balanced in the lineup and has some fairly reliable arms. It would be a bit shocking to see them win the championship, but they have a chip and a chair, so anything is possible.

The Houston Astros were in a battle themselves just to make the postseason. They ended the year exactly average with an 81-81 record, but did have a losing record in home games. This was a year most expected the Mariners to run away with the division, but the Astros narrowly beat out the Rangers in the final weekend of the season.
Now they have to figure out a way to battle a confident and young White Sox team. They have an MVP candidate in Yordan Alvarez, who could be the difference-maker in the series. Most likely, this will come down to whichever team is better on the mound.
